Fine Arts - The Performing Arts

In music, band, chorus and theater, students will express ideas and emotions that they cannot express in language alone. The following performing arts classes are a door to this understanding and a way for students to explore the world with the expressive nature of the arts!

Many of these classes begin with the fundamentals of performing, whether it is on an instrument, or acting on a stage. Much time is spent developing skills and building confidence through varied rehearsal and performance situations. Students should be prepared for a challenge and to work hard. The result of this hard work is something you will cherish for the rest of your life.
