Fine Arts - Music

The objectives of the music program include fostering teamwork, leadership, performance presence, and collaboration among students in music ensembles and in music courses. The emphasis in the music program is placed on the performance as a final product. The McAuley Chorus, open to all McAuley students, allows interested students to develop vocal technique and good musicianship in a quality vocal ensemble. The Chamber Chorale is a smaller choral group, performing more advanced choral literature in school concerts, liturgies, special events, and offcampus appearances. The McAuley Ensemble is an instrumental group that specializes in chamber music and traditional band repertoire. These groups perform two formal concerts a year Christmas and spring. Students also have the opportunity to perform in the Spring recital in March. This focuses on the development of solo and ensemble literature. All music students also have the opportunity to audition for district and all state groups. McAuley is well represented at the regional and state levels.
