Where am I?
Orchestra
Welcome to our second semester!
The Spring Hill School District offers a string orchestra program, which begins in 5th grade and continues through high school. All classes are yearlong and most classes meet two to three times a week.
The Middle School years are exciting as the students begin training in more advanced playing. Students will play three concerts: Spooktacular, Winter and Spring Concerts as well as perform at our Solo and Ensemble Contest. There are many more additional or voluntary events that the students can choose to participate in. In the past we have performed in the Spring Hill Fall Festival Parade, Spring Hill Hometown Holidays, KMEA District Honors Orchestra, a performance for the Board of Education during their annual Dinner in December and for 8th grade Promotion. We also perform the National Anthem at many boys and girls basketball events!
Each month one 6th grade, one 7th grade, and one 8th grade string student will be chosen for orchestra student of the month. These students are chosen based on their dedication to practice, class participation, musical improvement, and involvement in extra orchestra opportunities.
