Choir and Theatre

Beginning Choir serves as a transitionary class for students rising from the middle school into the high school. The course stresses the fundamentals of music reading and vocal techniques. Students enrolled in Beginning Choir are expected to perform twice a year in bi-annual concerts.

Chorale serves as the school's advanced choir with a focus on more complex repertoire, commonly featuring various foreign languages. The course allows students to participate in regional, district-wide, and state-wide honor choirs. Students are required to audition for at least one extra-curricular choir per year, and in addition to bi-annual concerts, perform at Concert Assessment to be scored by professional directors from across the region. 

Drama is a course exclusively offered in the fall semester where students work to produce a One-Act play that is taken to competition, competing against other schools in the region and potentially at the state level. Students study classic theatre with an emphasis on Shakespeare and as a final project, prepare a monologue to be performed by themselves for their peers. 

Musical Theatre is a course exclusively offered in the spring semester where students work to produce a full-scale Broadway show. Students assist at every level of production, from set design, lighting/sound, stagehand, choreography, and blocking. Following production of the yearly musical, students study multiple examples of musical theatre from classic Broadway shows to contemporary classics.
