[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You will need to plan ahead (summer online courses) to do 4 years of orchestra and the IB program. There are a lot of requirements to fit in and IB has no instrumental music class (very annoying!). I would ask this question to the magnet coordinator, I would guess there is a lot of overlap between orchestra and interest in the magnet.

Blair has a good orchestra program with some audition only ensembles. It is easier to fit orchestra into the AP curriculum.[/quote]

OP) Thanks everyone. Quick question… are instrumental music class and orchestra electives are two different thing? RMIB mentioned about taking an audition and join the Google classroom for orchestra. Blair hasn’t given any information related to orchestra, so just thought maybe RM is more keen to orchestra program. Am I wrong?[/quote]

Blair is usually the top orchestra in the county,  maybe state, I think.[/b] Ensembles are classes. Auditions will be in spring. Contact the orchestra teacher (email should be on Blair's website) to ask what you need to do and when. [/quote]

What makes you say that?

My kid was in the Senior Honors Orchestra this weekend.  Looking at the program, most of the kids in Band were from Churchill or Wootton.  Only a handful from Blair.  Unless all the Blair kids do All-State?

Senior Orchestra seems to have kids from various high school, but Blair is not overly-represented.  Though, maybe the kids at Blair are just really good and don't bother with the MCPS Honors Orch.
