 The Schalmont High School Music Department is
filled with students who are hard workers and who enjoy working
together. At this level, we have four performing groups that meet
every day, for one class period:
- HS Chorus
- Concert
Choir (acceptance into this group is by audition in the spring)
- HS Concert Band
- Wind
Ensemble (acceptance into this group is by audition in the
spring)
Each student involved in
the instrumental program receives a lesson once a week from the
band director. All students in the Concert Choir receive a group
vocal lesson once a week, placed in their schedule. Along with
these performing groups, we also offer a Music Theory course
that is now college accredited through the State University of
Albany.
Our Concert
Choir and Wind Ensemble groups take part in the NYSSMA Majors
competition in the spring, and many of our HS students
participate in the NYSSMA solo competitions in the spring as
well. A number of our students also participate in the Area
All-State and All-State performances held each year. Each of our
performing groups perform in four concerts a year, along with
other performances in the community.
We also have a
chapter of the Tri-M Music Honor Society (chapter #3828) at
the school. We are very proud of our honor students and always
look forward to what they will do next for the school and/or
community.
Throughout the
year, our students are recognized in various activities in the
community, two of them being ESYO (Empire State Youth Orchestra)
and singing in the Melodies of Christmas concert at Proctor’s
Theater.
