7th Grade Orchestra
8th Grade Orchestra
High School Orchestra
The FAHS Chamber Ensemble
And special Guests:
All string students from grades four through eight
participate in learning the progressive levels. There are ten levels and the
students begin with the most simple. These are very short pieces, but each
successive level adds challenge(s) in the way of string playing, and bowing
technique, style, and/or form. The goal is to master all ten levels. This
section of the concert will begin with all students playing level 10, the
hardest level. As the students continue through the levels, only those
able to play the level will perform. The students will end with everyone playing
the beginning level.

A concert is your 'test" in Orchestra and therefore part of your grade.
IF you can not make a concert, your parents must contact
Mrs. Nielsen, or
Ms. Rensberger, BEFORE
the concert. Absence due to due to work, or conflicts,
other
than illness, may be reflected as a lowered grade. The yearly concert
