How are grades determined in Orchestra?
Orchestra grades are based on your class participation, outside of school rehearsals and performances, and any written quizzes that may pop up from time to time. Rehearsals are like your homework assignment in any other class, and the performances are the exam. Extra credit opportunities are also offered, such as the home practice record, working at Festivals, music library work, etc. At times we may request an audio tape of specific music being prepared for Festival Evaluation.
