Arts (Music & Performing)

It is an option for all music students, regardless of curriculum path, to participate in more than one music elective (Band, Choir, and/or Orchestra). Students should add BOTH course numbers in the registration system. Contact the instructor(s) for more information.

Students in curricular music ensembles can also participate in the following extracurricular non-credit ensembles: Jazz Bands, Marching Band, Treble Ensemble, Drop the Octave, Bella Voce, Chamber Singers, and Chamber Strings. Current 9th grade students should register for the NON-AUDITIONED ensemble in their music area: IB MYP Varsity Choir, IB MYP Concert Band, and IB MYP Philharmonic Orchestra. Auditions are held each spring for IB MYP Bel Canto Choir, IB MYP Concert Choir, IB MYP Wind Ensemble, and IB MYP Symphony Orchestra. Changes will be made to course requests after auditions. All music courses are year-long courses. All arts courses, whether performing or visual, meet the Fine Arts graduation requirement, which is 2 credits.
