Vocal and instrumental music is taught along with theory and listening for better understanding and appreciation. Instruction follows a sequential developmental pattern. Students who have the ability and interests are privileged to join the bands and choirs which are well known in the regional area for their concerts and pub- lic appearances in the local parades and at football games.
