Music
The mission of the award-winning Pine-Richland Music Department is to provide students with musical knowledge, habits and experiences which will become an integral part of their adult lives. Music is a basic expression of human culture; therefore it must be included in the curriculum so that every student may participate more fully in the human experience. Our curriculum provides all students with a balanced, comprehensive and sequential program of study in musical education for today's world.
Orchestra
PRSD is pleased to have a strong orchestra program with more than 400 participants.
There are opportunities for students to participate in the PMEA District, Regional, and State Orchestra Festivals as well as PMEA Honors Orchestra. There are opportunities to travel with the Pine-Richland High School Orchestra. The group has traveled to and performed in New York City, Chicago, Disney World, and Universal studios in Orlando Florida, and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland Ohio.
The orchestra performs a wide variety of music including classical, jazz, rock, fiddle, and movie soundtrack arrangements. There are also many opportunities for students to perform in small groups and there is the opportunity to participate in the Pine-Richland Varsity Orchestra club.
Pine-Richland School District offers instruction in playing stringed instruments to students in grades 4-12. Lessons and orchestra are offered at the upper elementary with concerts given at least twice a year.
Lessons on violin, viola, cello and bass are free and given during school hours to 4th, 5th and 6th grade students. Students will have one 30 minute small group lesson and a 45 minute Orchestra Practice once a week (technically every 5 school days.)
