Welcome to the Roosevelt High School Orchestra. We are an award-winning program under the direction of Anna Edwards. We have three orchestras that include about 100 students: Concert Orchestra (strings), Symphonic Orchestra, and Chamber Orchestra.

Spring Fling and Pizza Feed
We are still glowing from our final event of the year, which was our annual pizza fundraiser and concert. The outgoing seniors play concertos accompanied by the Orchestra.
The Pizza Feed was packed with hungry music lovers and helped fill the orchestra coffers.
