Music

Concert Band is a yearlong class available to students seeking to challenge their musical skills. The beginner to the advanced student will find something to interest them. Several styles and types of music are played and studied with emphasis on traditional concert literature. The band is also active at athletic events with a large selection of popular music played. Attendance is mandatory at all performances.  All students perform either a solo or small ensemble at the local WSMA contest in the spring.  Students are expected to practice, prepare and attend both private lessons and full band rehearsals.

Performances include a fall "pop" songs concert, a winter/holiday concert, a midwinter concert featuring performances from our Solo and Ensemble Competition, and a Spring Awards Concert.  Additionally we perform at Graduation and Memorial Day Events. Choir students are given the opportunity to perform at our annual regional Solo and Ensemble Contest, where students can perform various music and in several different groupings. If students receive the top rating, they are eligible to compete at the State Solo and Ensemble Contest.   In addition to learning music, students in the choirs learn techniques to improve and strengthen their voices.
