George C. Marshall High School Orchestras
The vision of the GCM Orchestra program is to provide a high-quality musical experience for its student musicians that is both challenging and engaging. Students develop individual and ensemble musicianship and technique, while learning about and performing various styles of music. The GCM Orchestra program fosters a collaborative, supportive, and fun environment, where students can be a part of something larger than themselves.
Over the past decade, the GCM Orchestra program has more than doubled in size, growing from 62 members to 130 and from two class periods to four. The GCM Orchestras have consistently earned high ratings at the VBODA All-District Performance Assessment as well as appearances in Orlando, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Nashville.
Directed by Catherine Bond, the GCM Orchestra program hopes to provide aesthetically satisfying and inspiring performances, while making lifelong supporters and advocates of the arts in both its audience and members.
