Band Concert! Performance from the First Orion Jr High Jazz Band, Percussion Ensemble, Beginning Band and Advanced Band
9th grade band invitational! The 9th grade band students took a trip up to Weber to see what High School band is like. They met Mr. Van Bibber, played with the current high schoolers, and learned how to fit band into their high school schedule with all the AP classes they’ll probably want.
We took the Band, Theater, Orchestra and Choir classes on a trip to visit all of the current 6th graders who will come to Orion next year! Each group performed and talked about what kind of things you can do at Orion.
Chamber Choir traveled to Weber High School for the day to rehearse with a combined group of choirs from the Weber Cone. After several hours of practice, they performed that evening.
