Music
The Music Program at Milford High School is designed to provide a broad-based, comprehensive musical experience for all students. The program, therefore, is built on the musical skills, conceptual understanding, and notational abilities developed in earlier grades, thereby helping students deepen their awareness of musical expression, form, and style.
The program’s purpose is to develop an awareness of music as an art, musical understanding and skills, knowledge of music literature, and an increasing ability to recognize quality music. Opportunities to participate in instrumental and vocal groups and music electives are offered to stimulate and challenge the student’s intellectual and musical abilities, talents, and interests while fostering self-discipline and self-esteem.
- Certain requirements of attendance and participation in performances and rehearsals are necessary to receive credit and/or maintain membership in performing groups. Members are expected to perform at all concerts and attend all special rehearsals, music festivals, and musical productions outside of the regular school day.
- Reasonable standards for appropriate dress and personal appearance are required for members of performing groups. Members are required to provide appropriate accessories to complement the uniform or concert dress required for performances.
- In order to prepare for the fall football field show and parades, all Band and Color Guard members are required to attend a week-long camp to be held at Milford High School during the latter part of August. Students with conflicts should contact the director. Note: Fall sports athletes are able and encouraged to participate in Band and Color Guard!
