All clubs run from October - May, 3-4pm after School. Late bus transportation is provided.
Clubs are a great opportunity for students to enrich their day to day music learning, make connections with others, and push their skills! Since music students can only select one music class per year, this offers a great opportunity for students to try types of ensembles, especially for those that play more than one instrument.
Music Jam with Mrs. Mosca (Runs in 2 separate sessions on Mondays & Thursdays) Learn to play in a rock band with your peers in this "School of Rock" based club. Students form bands and select songs to be performed at Eaststock, our rock band concert. This club is an extension of our General Music program, and offers an opportunity for those who are not in general music to be a part of the fun.
Jazz Band with Mr. Denke (Tuesdays Jan-May)
Jazz Band starts after the holiday break and is open to students interested in learning and performing jazz music. The ensemble includes saxophones, trombones, trumpets, drum set, guitar, bass guitar, and keyboards. Students explore jazz styles, improvisation, and ensemble playing while working together to prepare performances. Jazz Band performs at our annual Pasta and Jazz Concert alongside the Foran High School Jazz Band, where students enjoy a pasta dinner before the performance, and also performs at the spring concert with the Concert Band and Orchestra. We also celebrate with our annual St. Patrick’s Day party, making the club a fun and memorable experience for students. Join the jazz band!
Regional Prep with Mr. Denke (Tuesdays October-December) Regionals Prep Club meets in the fall and is designed to help band and orchestra students prepare for auditions for the Southern Regional Middle School Music Festival ensembles. During this club, students work on audition music, scales, sight-reading, and audition strategies to help them feel confident and prepared. The club also includes fun community activities for members, including our annual Halloween party, making it a great way for students to improve their skills while having fun! Join Regionals Prep!
