Students attending Oslo or Storm Grove Middle School have many choices before them, one of which is to join one of our Performing Arts Programs. The OMS & SGMS Orchestra is a part of the Fine Arts Department that offers many exciting and rewarding opportunities. We welcome all students who want to learn music and be part of an exciting and award winning group.
BENEFITS: There are many benefits to being part of the OMS or SGMS Orchestra. Studies have shown that students who play string instruments: perform higher academically as well have a greater sense of self-esteem and belonging. In the Orchestra, we perform different styles of music, from classical to jazz, fiddle and folk music, to rock and pop tunes. We enjoy travel opportunities such as past trips to Colorado, Busch Gardens, Universal Studios, and in 2021 to perform in CARNEGIE HALL in New York City. In addition, students who play in the Orchestra have had the opportunity to perform with world class artists such as the Adam Ezra Group, Bobby Yang, Old Barber Bridge, and to later play in the Vero Beach High School Orchestra, one of the largest and most advanced High School Orchestras in the state, or to play in the Orchestra at Indian River Charter High School.
