Kearney High School | Kpsorchestra

Welcome to the Kearney High School Orchestra Program!

At Kearney High School, we invite students of all backgrounds and experience levels to participate in the Bearcat Orchestra programs. The Orchestra strives to provide a safe and musical environment for all students wishing to make music at Kearney High. The KHS Orchestra program consists of three ensembles: Camerata (by audition), Symphonic, and Concert (freshmen only). The orchestras consistently receive high marks at solo/ensemble competitions and have been selected to perform at the Nebraska Music Educator's Association Convention.
