Iroquois Community School orchestra students have been busy meeting twice a week before school starts to dive deeper into learning more about their craft.

The ICS Intermediate Orchestra morning rehearsals typically involve students who have a foundational understanding of their instruments and basic music theory.

The rehearsals often include warm-ups, practice of selected pieces and guidance on how to improve music performance and collaboration within the ensemble.
