ATA Choir students had the opportunity to perform on the Hult Center Stage in February. For more information, check out the Eugene Concert Choir website: https://eugeneconcertchoir.org/edop/  

Advanced band will be taking a field trip to perform in the Shasta Middle School Band Festival on Thursday, April 9th! They are preparing challenging music to perform in front of a panel of judges and will also listen to other middle and high school bands from around Oregon. 

During the 2023-2024 school year, the ATA band program was selected to participate in the Eugene Symphonic Band (ESB) Outreach program! Our very own Intermediate and Advanced Bands shared the stage with the Eugene Symphonic Band in the Churchill High auditorium. 

The members of the Eugene Symphonic Band graciously shared their time, experience, and knowledge with us as well as gave a generous donation to the ATA Band program. Thank you ESB!

Music has a lasting positive impact in our lives. The positive impact on music in the lives of our students lasts a lifetime. Therefore, the education and cultivation of music in our youngest members of society, our students, is paramount.

Every day, in classrooms and rehearsal rooms across our school district, music educators dedicate themselves to reaching all students with life-changing musical experiences. Parents, administrators, and the wider community often only see the wonderful results of music performances; however, we miss the months of practice and rehearsals and more importantly the learning process that takes place to make it all happen.

I encourage members in our community to acknowledge and celebrate music education as an essential part of every student’s educational journey.

Our Halloween-themed performance inside Papa's Pizza featured our Intermediate and Advanced Bands on Wednesday, October 29th. The bands gave a spooky and exquisite performance. 50% of the proceeds were donated to ATA Band and Choir. Thank you to all who contributed!
