Who Can Register?

  • Half Day Orchestra: Students in this orchestra should understand the meaning of simple time signatures, be able to read and perform patterns in all simple time signatures, and perform melodic fragments containing seconds and thirds. This orchestra will include all string participants regardless of ability level. This is an opportunity for the more advanced players to act as mentors to the younger or less advanced students. The music in this group will be later elementary and/or early Jr. High level. There will be sectionals daily so all participants will feel comfortable with the music by the end of the week.
  • Chamber Orchestra: Students in this orchestra should understand the meaning of compound time signatures, have the ability to read and perform rhythmic patterns in all time signatures, be able to perform intervals by size and quality, and be able to understand all commonly used key signatures and related melodic patterns. This orchestra will be for the more advanced student and the music will be more challenging. Students should have their teacher or orchestra director make a recommendation regarding section; i.e., 1st, 2nd,or 3rd Violin, experienced or inexperienced, etc.
  • Instrumentation: All string players, piano, and percussion. Adult players are welcome, please contact Paula Anderson at (507) 276-6648 for more information if interested.
