Why Join?
Music-You get to study something that you do everyday! Not only study but also perform. The choir, band and orchestra perform at many local events and concerts!
Resume-You get to put your involvement with the band, choir or orchestra on your resume. Perfect for colleges and universities looking to see how well rounded you are. Especially if you are involved all four years of high school.
Leadership-There are many leadership opportunities within the Music Department. Again, great for your resume.
Play sports? No problem! The band, choir and orchestra groups practice and perform after sports activities are over. Contact the director with specific questions.
Schedule-See our sample schedule to see when we practice and perform. It is not as time consuming as sports. If you wish to do both you can as fall rehearsals are at night. These rehearsals finish the last week of October.
Trips-Yes we take trips. From parades and school performance tours to 3-4 day spring band trips to compete nationally!
Friendships-Form long lasting friendships in an environment free from hazing and where students come together to make MUSIC!
Future-Many students leave Amity and perform in college pep and marching bands such as UCONN, University of Hawaii, Michigan and many others. Since colleges look at your performing arts involvement, even students who don't play after Amity have used their experience in the Music Department to help them get into the college of their choice.
