The Trabuco Hills High School Symphonic Orchestra is under the direction of Dr. Howard Stephens with assistance from Catherine Alonzo (Orchestra Instructor). Last year, the Symphonic Orchestra earned the honors of Top Ensemble of the Day, as well as receiving Unanimous Superiors, at the 2007 Heritage Music Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada.

     Here is a list of the major accomplishments by the Symphonic Orchestra, which is located in the Trabuco Hills High School Instrumental Music Program Resume: 1992-2008.

     The Symphonic Orchestra typically performs several concerts and festivals throughout the school year, with more activities scheduled during the second semester.

     The string players in the ensemble have class during sixth period. Most of the wind players participate in the ensemble through independent study. The entire Symphonic Orchestra meets during sixth period several times a month and also has periodic after school rehearsals.
