FMS Orchestra Program
The orchestra program consists of a string orchestra for each grade
level. The string orchestras
are comprised of violins, violas, cellos, and basses.
Rehearsals are based upon music enrichment activities such as
exploring the various styles of select string literature throughout the
ages and expanding the students’ technical music skills.
The 7th and 8th grade Symphonic Orchestras
also rehearse once every two weeks. The
Symphonic Orchestra includes select wind and percussion players from the
bands in 7th and 8th grade.
These groups combine for concerts in order to provide the
performers with a richer orchestra experience.
All string students perform in a minimum of three concerts
throughout the year. Other performance opportunities arise for students in
recitals, festivals, field trips, and NYSSMA.
