We also encourage ALL Orchestra Students to consider Advanced Music for Orchestra.  This is not a separate class, but extra requirements which allows students to receive a 4.5 (10th grade) or 5.0 (11th – 12th grade) for orchestra.
We will be revising the Advanced Course Guide for next year, but you can get an overview from this year’s guide:
