Students are welcome to start new extra-curricular groups that are not currently run at Whitby Collegiate. Please talk to one of your music teachers to discuss setting up a regular rehearsal space.

Bands
Our jazz and rock bands are made up of enthusiastic and talented musicians who find joy in playing and performing together whether as a feature piece or as background music. They are strongly encouraged to perform in our Music Showcases.
Rehearsal:
Ms Ting will advise you of when rooms are available for rehearsals.
Barbershop
We welcome all confident and willing singers to push the limits of their normal choral comfort zone; the rewards are impressive! Barbershop centres around relatively simple melodies, singing in four-part harmony without accompanying instruments (a cappella).
