El Camino High School
Advanced Orchestra &
String Orchestra
Mark Lowery, Director

The Orchestra is a performance and standards based class. Students will study music fundamentals and play their instrument daily. Music will be prepared for concert performances and attendance at concerts is mandatory. Grades will be based on daily progress, test scores and attendance at concerts. Three strikes will lower the grade by one letter grade per six-week period. See strike sheet for more details.

Students are asked to play individually about once a week and are tested on music for performance. Students are expected to have their instrument and music in class every day.

Some additional Rehearsals in the evening prior to festival and spring concert will be announced in advance.

Concert attire for ALL instrumental-performing groups is long black dresses for the girls and black slacks, white shirt, tie, dress shoes and black coat for boys.
