The Main Orchestra |
The Centennial Orchestra is a growing ensemble of students from 9th through 12th grade. Students need to have at least three years of playing experience to enroll. As this is the only orchestra currently at Centennial, all players benefit from having a wide variety of playing levels.
A wide range of literature is explored, from movie themes and pops to classical and contemporary. All students take part in smaller ensembles and perform in community events, music festivals and fund raising activities for the program. This orchestra performs at least seven concerts outside of class time each year. The emphasis is on performance skills, but music theory and history are introduced as well.
