Honors Orchestra is an advanced elective orchestra class for experienced, dedicated, and advanced students seeking a higher-level ensemble experience.In addition to participating in regularly scheduled orchestra classes, additional individualized course work such as compositional projects and solo performances will provide students an opportunity to develop their musical skills beyond those attained during regular large ensemble classes.An individualized honors contract developed by the instructor and the student will set forth requirements for the course.Students will prepare solo and ensemble literature for recital, will audition for Regional events, and will complete theory and compositional assignments.Students will be required to attend rehearsals and performances with orchestra outside of school hours.Students will have the opportunity to participate in sanctioned VBODA orchestra activities (e.g., Regional Orchestra, District Concert Assessment, Regional and State Auditions/Events).Students who use WJCC instruments are assessed a fee per semester.
