Spartan Orchestras

JOINING THE ORCHESTRA 

The West Springfield Orchestra program consists of four ensembles.

All ensembles perform school concerts and share the same opportunities to participate in VBODA events such as Solo Ensemble, State assessment, District and State auditions and get to participate in orchestra socials.

Auditions take place every year for all students. This process allows me to determine which group best suits the student's current ability. No one gets turned away.  We have a place for everyone. Please contact the school for more information.
