In high school, there are currently three orchestras: Concert Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra, and Chamber Orchestra. All three groups are determined through auditions in the spring of the previous year. Symphony Orchestra regularly performs with select members of the band as a full orchestra, and performs for the National Honor Society Induction Ceremony in November. Chamber Orchestra regularly performs at numerous events throughout our district and community. Recent performances include the HS Holiday Assembly, Holland Hospital, Freedom Village, Dazzle! (formerly Tulip Time Salute), and Convocation.
The groups routinely do well at MSBOA District and State Festivals. Chamber Orchestra has received 1's at State Festival for the four years it has been in existence, and Symphony Orchestra received a 1 at State Festival this past year, which was the first time the second orchestra at the HS had ever attended State Festival. Chamber Orchestra was also honored as one of the 3 orchestras performing at the 2014 Michigan Music Conference.
