instrumental MUSIC AT PORTOLA HGM
Portola HGM's music program offers three levels of string orchestra and two levels of wind band classes. Whether the student is a novice player or seasoned musician, there is a class for everyone!

The groups also enjoy field trips to the Disney Concert Hall to attend performances by the L.A. Philharmonic.
The advanced ensembles have also performed at Disneyland, Universal Studios and Knotts Berry Farm.
