SJSD Central Orchestras

02/21/2026

Bode and Truman 8th Grade Orchestras performed at the KC Middle School Large Ensemble Festival at Liberty High School this afternoon and received an “Exemplary” rating on their performance (the highest possible score). We are so proud of them! We got to celebrate with a late lunch at Raising Canes afterwards.

Hi, everyone! If you're a former Orchestra student and have no way to continue playing, please consider joining this group! We don't want you to lose your love of playing!

Adult string players come together to play and perform music.
