WELCOME!
Welcome to the Seminole High School Orchestra website!
The Seminole High School Orchestra Program has grown to over 150 students resulting in the first full-time Orchestra Director beginning Fall 2017 and the establishment of the Orchestra Parents Association (OPA).
The program consists of six orchestras and the purpose is to provide students with a positive atmosphere for personal and musical growth. Through participation in activities such as large ensemble performance, performance evaluation and adjudication, small ensemble and solo performance, and social activities, students have opportunities to work toward these qualities.
Thank you for your support!
Andrea Newhouse, Orchestra Director
