Each year, based on student interest and scheduling, small group and chamber music ensembles are also offered at Cape. These groups rehearse outside of the school day and often work with local instructors and coaches.

Cape Henlopen instrumental ensembles perform in concerts, parades and festivals throughout the Cape region and regularly participate in clinics at universities throughout the Mid-Atlantic.
