ORCHESTRA ... FIDDLES AROUND
The orchestra provides culture and exposure to good music. Opportunities for travel and exposure to finer things and places are provided for students in the orchestra. The orchestra attends and performs at many cultural events throughout the Tidewater area.
Meeting the challenge of competing by auditions, with string players from others schools in the Tidewater area, our students have won covetous seats at Junior Regional Orchestra and Senior Regional Orchestra.
The orchestra is akin to culture and its intrinsive value is very important to our school populace.

The night is just getting started.
