The Extra-curricular Music Programs are designed to encourage music education through participation in ensembles/groups, rehearsals and performances. It is an expectation that Music Extension students be involved in one or more of these ensembles to provide further enrichment and support to their learning. Students involved in the Extra-curricular Music Program are involved in numerous performances and events throughout the year.
