About the Foothill Orchestra Programs
The Orchestra Program has two programs: String Orchestra (9th Grade) and the Symphony Orchestra (10th-12th grade).
The Orchestras are under the direction of Erik Nishimori.

String and full orchestra music from all major music periods will be rehearsed, analyzed, and performed. Music theory and music history are part of the learning in the String Orchestra. The orchestra will perform at festivals, concerts, and community events throughout the year.
