From a trip to Chicago for the Midwest Convention to a joint Star Wars concert with band, it’s been a busy year for orchestra. It comes to a conclusion Tuesday at 7 p.m. in the auditorium with the spring concert.

Among the artists to be featured in the concert: Shawn Mendes, Imagine Dragons, Green Day, Pharrell, and Lorde with the conclusion of the concert bringing a performance of “Fantasia on a Theme” by the symphonic and camerata orchestras.

“Approaching the final concert, what comes to mind is the growth that all of the students in our orchestra had,” assistant orchestra director Chase Fickling said. “There’s been a lot of growth since the first concert of the year and I’m just so proud of each and every one of the students that have worked so hard throughout the year to improve their individual playing abilities.”
