This ensemble rehearses before school hours and therefore does not share time with other regularly scheduled academic courses. It is, however, a direct outgrowth of the instrumental music curriculum and as such may and does utilize time for instruction during the school day. It is designated as an extra curricular merely as a result of the time of day it meets and the fact that it is not graded. It is, otherwise, totally an extension of and in correlation with instrumental music academic dictates analogous with Concert Band. Stage Band literature tends to be more liberal in content when compared to traditional jazz ensembles.
Participation is by audition only.
Student musicians not otherwise enrolled in either Concert or Lab Bands will not have access to this ensemble. Improvisation is encouraged and taught to students upon request. Community Service Club Archmere Academy's Community Service Clubs are off to a fantastic and attention-grabbing start. With a record of eight community service clubs, ideas and opportunities are abundant. In return for the time you volunteer, you will receive a sense of satisfaction knowing that you have made a difference in the community and touched someone's life.
