Music And Art Courses Help To Develop Come out, conic out wherever you are! After seventeen years, Edina students have learned to breathe. An expert was brought from the University to teach this skill to students participating in Edina’s vocal music courses. The music department consists of two choirs and three bands. The Mixed Choir annually presents an operetta and combines with the Girls’ Choir for several concerts. Edina’s Concert Band, which presents various programs during the year, and the Varsity Band compose the Marching Band. The Hornet Band was formed this year due to the increasing number of band members. There arc three levels of art in which students may enroll. General and Advanced Art include units on painting, drawing, and sculpture. Studio Art is divided into four areas of concentration chosen from silver, graphics, and many others.
