Concert Band consists of students
who have achieved a strong level of proficiency on a band instrument. Concert
band will allow for student instrumentalists to become exposed to a variety of music
through concert band, jazz band, pep band, solos, and ensembles.
Jazz Band
is a group of students who are in band or just interested in this type of music.
The music style is just as the name indicates--jazzier than concert band.
It is more relaxed than the regular concert band. Practices are scheduled
outside of the school day.
Concert Choir
is a mixed ensemble open to all
interested students in grades 9 through 12.
Concert Choir's goal is to expose
students to qualify choral music from a variety of genres while focusing on the
essentials of good singing/vocal health. The choir gives several concerts each
year, performs at school and community events and in MSHSL section large group
and solo/ensemble competitions.
Members of the Concert Choir are
encouraged to audition for
SWING CHOIR (a select mixed group of 12-16 voices),
the
SPARKLETONES (a girls ensemble) or STRICKLY BIDNESS (a
guys ensemble).
These groups perform selections from a Pop/Broadway/Jazz repertoire.
Choreography and costuming are often included.
