Schedule update!

This is a busy week for the Indiana Orchestras!  All rehearsals are focused on this Friday's concert:

Indiana Orchestras Rock!
It's All About that BASS!!!!

The concert will begin at 7:00 in the JH Auditorium.

Call times are as follows:


  • Elementary Orchestra - report to the orchestra room (123) at 6:30.

  • JH Orchestra - Report to the stage at 5:55 OR SOONER for rehearsal with the basses at 6:00.

  • JH Symphonic Orchestra woodwinds, brass, and percussion - report to the band room at 5:45.  You will be seated in the auditorium until the JH Orchestra begins their part of the concert.

  • SH Orchestra - Report to the band room for tuning at 6:45.

  • ALL BASSES in JH and SH Orchestras are to report in front of the stage at 5:55 or sooner for the 6:00 rehearsal with JH Orchestra and community bassists!!!!
We have a lot of community members joining us on bass, but we could always use more.  If you know someone who would like to join us, please encourage him/her to come on out for the 6:00 rehearsal!


SH Orchestra will be performing the same rock selections in concert with the choral department of the Senior High School on Tuesday, February 9.  Please mark your calendars for this additional event.


Please watch the blog for a February meeting to begin planning for the PMEA District 2, 3, 5 Orchestra Festival, to be held at the JH from January 26 - 28, 2017.  It will take a year of planning for this event.  We have some hoops to jump through (i.e. clearances for ALL parent volunteers) that will take some time. However, we expect this event to be an exemplary festival that will serve as a model for other festivals!

Thanks to all for your continued support and encouragement of our orchestra program in the IASD!
