The full orchestra of the ASO visits a rotating set of four to five high schools each year to perform a tailored program for approximately 5,000 students (grades 9-12). The 45-minute concert features a special side-by-side interaction for outstanding band and orchestra students. ASO 2023-2024 Beyond the Notes concerts (formerly High School Concerts), themed “Musical Transcendence: Overcoming Adversity and Resisting Oppression,” were presented at Anderson HS, Navarro HS, Eastside HS, Crockett HS, and Hays CISD Performing Arts Center, in late January – early February 2024.
