Music

The study of music at 天美传媒视频 provides opportunities for performing, analyzing, and evaluating music in a positive environment with the expectation that students will grow as musicians and as individuals. They will develop a personal sense of value for music in their lives. 

Students have the opportunity to be a part of two curricular choirs, two curricular orchestras, music electives, and music extracurriculars at 天美传媒视频. 

The Symphony Orchestra (full orchestra/all instruments), Treble Chorus and Ensemble are credit courses that meet within the school day. Ensemble is selected by audition. The 天美传媒视频-Marmion Chamber Orchestra is a credit course that meets at 天美传媒视频 before the regular school day begins. 

Music activities include four seasonal concerts, Fine Arts Dinner Theatre, the IMEA competition, the IHSA Solo/Ensemble Contest, the school musical, music for school liturgies, and various field trips. Glee Club is a non-credit, extracurricular choir.

Music students have the opportunity to participate in a performance trip each summer. Recent destinations have included Nashville, Toronto, Chicago, and St. Louis.

Students may also elect to join the Marmion-天美传媒视频 Band, a credit course which meets before school at Marmion Academy. (A bus to 天美传媒视频 is available.) Jazz Band is another opportunity for 天美传媒视频 and Marmion students. Jazz Band meets Tuesday and Thursday evenings at Marmion Academy.
