About Us

The DeSales band is made up of instrumentalists in grades 9-12, as well as eighth graders with the directors' permission. Students begin music practice in July and attend two weeks of band camp during the summer. The band performs at all home and away football games and at select boy's basketball games.

The band puts on two additional concerts throughout the year. These concerts are a combined effort of the DeSales band and our feeder schools, including St. Matthias, St. James the Less, and St. Paul Schools. Students will perform both concert and jazz music.

Our choir program students perform music in a variety of styles, including pop, jazz, classical, and concert works. Students in the choir develop both vocal technique and musicianship skills.

The choir performs at two concerts a year, one in December and one in May. In addition, the choir has performed for events like Grandparent's Day, Eighth Grade Visits, and Open House.

In addition to the concert choir, students may elect to sing in Horizons, which is our liturgical choir that sings at all-school Masses. Students will have an opportunity to sing both traditional and contemporary styles of worship music.

The drama program is a vibrant group of students who work as actors, set builders, light and sound technicians, and more as they put on two productions a year.

The fall play takes place in October each year. Students will audition for roles or sign up for set crew in September.

The spring musical is made up of singers, dancers, and other musicians. Auditions take place in January. Past shows have included High School Musical, The Addams Family, Godspell, and the Sound of Music.
