This course is a continuance of Orchestra II with higher expectations in all performance standards in the state curricular framework. Expanded performance repertoire including advanced solo and ensemble literature will be emphasized.

Emphasis is placed on barre and center floor work. Public performances and participation in local activities will be used as part of assessment.
