Bear Creek High School offers two levels of orchestras, String Orchestra (Open Enrollment) and Chamber Orchestra (Audition).
We perform at least four public recitals every school year: October, Holiday Spectacular, Spring, and End of Year
Both orchestras also participate in Colorado American String Teachers Association (CASTA) Competitions in the Spring.
Participating students are eligible to audition for Jeffco Honor Orcehstra and All State.
