GJH Orchestras perform in the ISSMA JME Organizational Assessments
The ISSMA Junior High/Middle School/Elementary School (JME) Event is our state assessments for the GIS Prelude (6th Grade) Orchestra, GJH Allegro, Vivace, and Cadenza Orchestras. Our ensembles will perform 3 pieces for three adjudicators providing scores and verbal commentary. This event is the third of four required concerts for our Orchestra Students Grades 6-8. This is also the only concert we cannot communicate a set date or time for performances before February. When we register for the event in January we are able to help avoid student conflicts by listing individual student conflicts. For this reason our GIS 6th Grade Orchestra often performs around 5pm and our GJH ensembles typically perform between 6:30 PM and 10:00 PM (yes…10 PM…yikes) on Friday night but the exact dates and times are set by ISSMA. There is no cost to attend this adjudicated event but audience members must be very quiet so the judges can do their job as effectively as possible.
The GCS Orchestras host this event at Goshen Junior High School. More than 20 schools and over 1200 student performers participate in the event. Hosting is great for us but many volunteers are needed to make the weekend successful.
GJH Spring Orchestra Concert
This is our Spring Concert for students in the GJH Allegro and Vivace Orchestras. This is the fourth of four required concerts for GJH Students.

General Admission Tickets: $3.00
Concert start time is late to allow track and tennis athletes to be able to participate in meets and concerts.

As a way to celebrate the end of our performance year our GJH Allegro and Vivace Orchestras perform in the Music in the Parks festival alternating between Cedar Point and Six Flags Great America. May 15, 2027 we will be traveling by charter bus to Six Flags Great America.
As this is not a “big-trip” year for GHS, we will plan on having a GHS performing orchestra at Six Flags as well!

Eligible GHS Orchestra students may audition for placement in the Camerata Chamber Orchestra.
