Orchestra

Welcome students and parents!

This is the West Florida High School Orchestra website where you can find information about our program. Please check this site throughout the year for information on school concert dates, fund raisers, orchestra news, and other resources. 

The West Florida High School orchestra is comprised of talented, young musicians who have chosen to continue their musical journey on the violin, viola, cello, or bass. At this level, students will work hard to improve their skills on their instrument to take with them on their journey after high school whether it be professionally or for pleasure.

Orchestra is not just the creation of music, it is the development of professionalism, responsibility, and maturity. Thank you orchestra parents for always being supportive of your children and their hard work and dedication to their craft! This could not be possible without you. 

If you have any questions regarding grading policies, concert attendance, or uniforms, please email Ms. Aldahondo.

Orchestra is located in Room 804.
