• Beginning Concert Band - Open to all students and serves as a foundation and prerequisite for Intermediate or Advanced Band.
• Intermediate Concert Band - Open to all student-musicians who have completed Beginning Band or one year of band experience at their previous school.
• Advanced Concert Band - Open to all student-musicians who have completed Beginning and Intermediate Band, or two years of band experience at their previous school.
• Seventh and Eighth Grade Choir - Combined for concerts, the seventh and eighth grade choir focuses on music-reading skills and literacy, solfege, unison and 2-part literature, and having fun!
• Beginning Orchestra - This class offers students an introduction to the violin, viola, cello and upright bass through a variety of styles including classical, jazz, pop, blues and bluegrass. Students will be challenged musically, have a chance to be creative, foster quality musicianship, and have fun of course!
• Advanced Orchestra - This class offers experienced orchestra students the opportunity to develop their musicianship skills through age appropriate repertoire and healthy ensemble competition.
