Chamber Strings:
Chamber Strings is the extra-curricular music ensemble for orchestra. It is for orchestral students that would like a more rigorous and challenging string experience and have the desire to perform more often including off-campus performances. The group is mainly comprised of 7th and 8th grade students. 6th graders may audition with the invitation or permission of the director based on the needs of the ensemble, a person’s prior experience, and/or a superior playing ability need. Entrance to the ensemble is upon receipt of a successful audition in three parts, 1) Scale- play the scale as assigned, 2) Prepared Piece- choose any piece to play that highlights your abilities, 3) Sight-Reading- playing a piece that you have never seen before. It will be a piece that is planned to be programmed for Chamber Strings during the year.

Digital Photography Club:
We will learn how to use various advanced features on a digital camera while exploring different ways to compose photos. Members will learn how to use photo editing software and create a mini portfolio of pictures they take themselves. If students have access to their own digital SRL camera we can examine more advanced features. However, students can simply use a personal phone or tablet camera or borrow one if needed.
