This is an auditioned group especially for high school and outstanding middle school students. Performance opportunities include playing for occasional worship services, accompanying both youth choirs for special programs, and participating in at least one tour each year. Students who have at least 2 years of playing experience may audition for this group. The Celebration Orchestra plays each Sunday morning for our Celebration Service, as well as participating in major musicals, concerts, and special productions. We also do an annual orchestra concert, and are regularly invited to perform for other area events.
Membership is open to adults who play a band or orchestral instrument.
Prospective members must first attend 2 consecutive rehearsals and have an interview with the director before performing with the group. Outstanding high school students may also audition to join the Celebration Orchestra while maintaining membership in the student orchestra. Childcare is provided. The Praise Band plays for our Contemporary services and is open to adults by audition as space is available. This group also participates in major musical productions and special events, and presents concerts and community outreach events.
