Welcome to the Spring Hill High School Orchestra Page!
WELCOME!
The Spring Hill School District offers a string orchestra program. The program begins in 5th grade and continues through high school. All classes meet every day and are all school year long. I am constantly impressed with the dedication and talent of my students!
The combined SHHS Orchestra is very busy! With four traditional concerts (Spooktacular, Winter, Masterworks and Pops), the orchestra also performs at the Spring Hill Community Veteran’s Day Celebration, KMEA’s Honors Orchestra, Worlds of Fun Festival Of Music, as well as competing at regional and state Solo and Ensemble Contest and Large Group State Contest. Our students undergo a challenging program from studying music history, to learning how instruments are made and produce sound and finally my personal favorite, performing music.
Extra Credit
Students may always have a need for some extra credit work to keep up their grades. Therefore they are always encouraged to do extra credit in order to recover lost points. The top priority is to recover all in-class points (tests, worksheets, etc) first. Then students can attend music performances (must pertain to their band instrument) and write a one page (typed, 12 pt. font, 1" margins in essay format). The basis for the paper will be a review of what they heard. Turn this into Mr. Ozakinci. Please have performances approved in advance by Mr. Ozakinci.
Students may also write reviews of YOUTUBE videos. The same format as performance reviews, but make sure to include the URL of the video in your report.
FALL FUND RAISER: Booster club is working really hard on scheduling more fun events and fundraising opportunities.
