Plano ISD Academy High School – Orchestra IV Honors

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Although encompassing the same group performance expectations as the on-level orchestra courses listed above, this course has an added emphasis on proficiency of repertoire, advanced technical skills, advanced theory and aural skills, critical performance evaluation, and the development of a personal portfolio demonstrating the development of advanced comprehensive individual musicianship. Students in Orchestra IV Honors will be required to complete a culminating project based on student interest and musical knowledge. This is a full-year course. Attendance at all outside of school rehearsals and performances will be required to fulfill all course objectives. Class placement is determined by audition. Additional supply fees may be associated with this course; however, Plano ISD will take steps to ensure that costs will not prevent access to programs. (See Consumable Supply Fees.)
