The Justice high School Orchestras will participate in the District X Orchestra Assessment on Friday March 14, 2025 OR Saturday March 15, 2025, at Edison HS (see schedule below). Orchestra assessment is a state-wide event and is a highly educational and rewarding experience for all participants. As a member of the Justice HS Orchestra program, your child is required to participate in Orchestra Assessment as a graded course component.
The District X Orchestra Assessment is designed to enrich
you child’s music education. The orchestras will prepare 3 musical selections
to perform for a panel of judges. The judges provide the ensembles with written
comments as well as an overall score representing the quality of the
performance. In addition, the orchestras will sight-read a apiece of music for
a separate judge who will also provide comments and a score. The comments and
scores help assess, as well as reinforce, the music learning obtained in the
classroom.
All performances are open to the public. The Orchestras will
perform on stage, then immediately move to another room for their sight-reading
portion of the assessment (this is a closed performance).
