Music Department Going Strong The music department offers an assortment of electives ranging from the Honors and Stage Bands to the A Capella Choir and Chorale. The different groups perform a multitude of occasions including foot- ball and basketball games and assemblies for every season of the year. The Choirs put on shows for the feeder schools in the area and sing at different churches for special events. The marching bands are frequently in parades, and the Royal Reds Stage Band plays at PTA dances and private parties given by people of the community.
