Ola High School students have the opportunity to perform in several of the orchestra classes offered.  Currently, the ensembles include: Chamber Orchestra, Symphonic Orchestra, and Freshmen Orchestra.  Throughout the year, The Orchestras and their members have performed for weddings, solo and ensemble competitions, Fall Festivals, the Henry County Arts Festival, the UGA String workshop, the Spivey Hall Honor Chamber Workshop, Large Group Performance Evaluations, and more.  Orchestra members also have the opportunity to perform with a full orchestra during an annual Fine Arts holiday concert.  Music participation enhances problem solving, team work, goal-setting, self expression, physical coordination, memory skills, self confidence and self esteem, concentration and poise.  Learning to play an instrument and belonging to a successful orchestra program opens a whole new world of friendship and fun.  Like all of the arts, music has a profound effect on the academic success of students as well here at Ola.
