Silverton has had as many as ten students at one time in any one of these festivals. Several students from Silverton have earned 1st chair positions and solos in all of the college honor bands and even in each of the All-State groups. Silverton's bands have performed for the governor, state legislature, and other local schools. Music Analysis Students study music theory and apply it to instrumental or vocal music work as well as keybords and computers. Our music technology program is expanding each semester.
Final projects can include recital performances as well as student compositions.
From this course, vocal students can audition for western Colorado select choir, honor choir and All-State Choir. Again, Silverton has had many students selected to these groups and a few have been chosen as soloists for each ensemble including All-State Choir. Silverton choirs have performed for other schools and the state board of education convention. In small school state and semi-national competition, Silverton choirs have earned many superior ratings and five trophies, three of which are first place.
