Concert Band, String Ensemble, and Percussion Ensemble are year long performance courses that meet during the school day. The courses are designed to provide students with the opportunity to experience numerous musical styles of both traditional and contemporary band, strings, and percussion literature. Students participate in four concerts a year, along with adjudicated events such as OMEA Solo & Ensemble and Kings Island Music in the Parks.

Liturgical Choir
