Chorus students are also able to participate in all-county chorus, all-state chorus and honors chorus. We also travel to Carowinds to compete in a music competition. Finally, we have a Spring Musical each year! Students learn all about music theater and how to put on a play- it's so much fun! We hope you come and sing with us!
What instruments can I play in band?
A: These classes last for one year.
Q: Do I need to know how to read music before joining these classes?
A: No, we will teach you how to read music. No previous experience is necessary.
Q: How often do we have performances?
A: 6th grade orchestra, chorus and band classes perform at least twice a year, in December and May. Other performance opportunities may occur throughout the year. Attendance at concerts is required of all students. We are a team, and we need every member to help us make beautiful music!
Q: What if I do not have a band or orchestra instrument?
A: We will have Edwards Music available to talk with you about renting or buying instruments.
Q: Should I go ahead and purchase band or orchestra instrument on instrument on Amazon?
A: No. Please do not do this without consulting one of our music teachers first. We love Amazon too, but we want to ensure that your child has a quality instrument on which to learn. Please feel free to email us.

Edwards Music will be available on-site to help you with instrument rentals. Please make sure to bring a valid ID and either a checkbook or debit/credit card if you are ready to rent an instrument.
