Music Boosters

St. Albert the Great school offers Band, Orchestra, and Vocal music programs for our children. Band, Orchestra, and Choir perform throughout the school year.   Any student from grades 4-8 (Choir begins in grade 3; Band begins in grade 5) is eligible to participate in these extracurricular programs.  

The Symphonic band practices on Tuesdays after school from 3:30 to 4:15 and Orchestra practices on Wednesdays after school from 3:30 to 4:15 in the Music Room.  Lessons for new and returning members of the Band and Orchestra are available.  Beginning Choir, (grades 3-5) meet on Wednesday mornings before school from 8:00 to 8:45 and Advanced Choir, (grades 6-8) meet Thursday mornings before school from 8:00 to 8:45.

The goals of the St. Albert the Great music program include:

• Teach and learn music through performance
• Develop performance skills with instruments and voice
• Provide students with a means for self expression and social interaction
• Become a responsible member of the band, orchestra, or choir
• Engage in leadership roles
• Recognize a connection with each other and with God through music

Parent participation is crucial to the success of the music program.  There are opportunities to become involved with the music program that include: fundraising, concert set-up/clean-up, website management, uniform ordering and distribution, awards banquet and ceremony.  Parents are encouraged to become officers in the music board.
