Pit Orchestra is a volunteer group who plays for the school musical. Instrumentation is based on the score of the musical, which is written for professionals. Students who wish to be in pit orchestra must let the director know by November, and then the pit orchestra will be built based on the abilities of the students and the needs of the score. Students must be enrolled in a fall or spring band class to be eligible for pit orchestra. Rehearsals are twice a week after school from Jan-April and daily about three weeks before the show opens.
Many students enjoy the challenge of the professional music and the camaraderie of the ensemble!
