Chamber Orchestra is a group of highly advanced string players, teacher recommendation
required.
Advanced Orchestra is a group advanced players, usually 7th & 8th grades. Most
students need to have at least 3 years playing experience.
Intermediate Orchestra is a middle level group, consisting of students from 6th, 7th & 8th
grades. Beginning students can be accomodated in this class with instructor permission.
The North Middle School Orchestras are under the direction of Mrs. Alice Caplinger. Mrs.
Caplinger has a Master of Music Education degree with an emphasis in string education, from
Hardin-Simmons University, in Abilene, TX. She has been teaching in the public schools since
1991, and at North since 2006.
