The Glacier High School Orchestra program, under the direction of Sherry Simmons, has been in existence since the fall of 2007, when Glacier High School first opened its doors. Glacier High School is part of the Kalispell School District 5; its partner High School is Flathead. Glacier High School currently has two orchestras: Concert Orchestra and Chamber Orchestra. The Chamber Orchestra is an audition only orchestra for upperclassmen. This orchestra prepares more advanced music, often in collaboration with the choirs or wind members from Symphonic Band. The
Concert Orchestra is for younger
students and students 9-12 who prefer
to work on their basic skills, honing them in preparation for more advanced music.
