Orchestra

Westminster High School’s Orchestra Department, a member of the Westminster Public Schools Creative Arts Pipeline, aims to create a world fully enriched by music through the study, composition, and performance of Mariachi music, inspiring personal growth, a positive school culture, and healthy communities. We have multiple classes for every level of musician from foundational through advanced to learn to play the violin, viola, cello, bass, or guitar! Come be a part of our pack! 

Experiencing art in a multitude of forms is what makes life worth living for millions of people worldwide. Its study, creation, and use defines our individual and worldwide cultures and comprises an essential part of a holistic human education.

The Westminster High School Orchestra program primarily seeks to provide its members with experiences that allow for self-expression and creativity to thrive, while fostering the growth of the 21st century, social-emotional, and musical skills necessary to make music in amateur, post-secondary, and professional circles.

Most of our orchestral musicians typically perform in five during-school performances, three after-school performances at WHS, and numerous additional opportunities for performances to enrich our school and broader community. Members of our upper-level ensembles typically perform three or more performances in the greater Colorado community. Recent performances include Argosy University’s Graduation Ceremony, Madonna Plaza Senior Living Community, ASCD Conference on Teaching Excellence, Pearl Street, FlatIrons Crossing Mall, the Westminster Public Schools Foundation, the Colorado Music Educators Association Conference, Colorado Mills Mall, Cancer League of Colorado, and Xcel Energy at the Butterfly Pavilion..
