| Fine Arts :: Competitions |
Beginning in the fall, students may prepare solos and ensembles outside the classroom to compete in arenas as provided by a number of different organizations. With the help of our faculty and our private teachers, students choose appropriate repertoire, spend extra hours preparing material for performance, and compete in several different fields. Our students enjoy the preparation and performances in outside organizations' competitions and take pride in their placement among the competition from other schools. Many of the organizations include both private and parochial programs; therefore, our students are competing in large groups of students from a variety of schools and performance levels.
On a regular basis, our students place in the following festivals and competitions:
