Welcome to the AHS Orchestra Program

Mr. Forbes and Mr. England

We would like to welcome you to the Arcadia High School Orchestra Family.  This year, our Orchestra Family consists of over 350 students plus their families.  The Orchestra is the largest in 53 year history of Arcadia High School.  We plan to carry on the tradition of excellence by traveling to San Diego to participate in a Heritage Festival event as well as performing in the San Diego area.   The Orchestra is made up of the “crème of the crop” at Arcadia High School.  The students in the Orchestra are accomplished in both music and academics.  This year we have 10 National Merit Semi-Finalists in our Orchestra Program. We encourage all students, parents, family, alumni and friends to get involved in the Orchestra and Music Club.  All our Orchestra Members will perform at our 12^th Annual Orchestra Benefit Dinner and Concert on Saturday, February 25, 2006 to be held at the Arcadia Community Center. Check the Music Club Webpage for a complete listing of our concerts. We hope you plan to attend a concert or event during the year to support our outstanding students.
