The music department encourages all students to explore and develop their talents and interests to the fullest. There are courses and performing groups for the person who is a novice in music and offerings for more experienced musicians as well.
Due to the increasing numbers of students participating in the band program,
the Concert Band has been created. This is the second year that the 9th
Grade has a separate ensemble. The Concert Band is comprised of the younger
musicians in the high school band program; so, it is designed for the
development of basic fundamentals, technique and musicianship skills.
The Concert Band performs intermediate level literature (NYSSMA level III
and IV). We will perform at all school Band Concerts, the school-wide
holiday concert and NYSSMA Major
Ensemble Evaluation Festivals. Prior to
each school concert, an after school dress rehearsal i
s held (please see
calendar of events and save the dates!). Students are notified in a timely
manner of all extra rehearsals. Attendance, at all scheduled performances
and rehearsals, is required.
