Band &
Orchestra
Strike up the band! The MSJ Band combines its talents with
IHS's school band to create one formidable band that
performs at football games, concert halls, and festive
parades. The MSJ Orchestra is filled with string
instrumentalists that play mellifluous music at all the
concerts the MSJ Band does, and has grown into a respectable
group since it's establishment only a few years ago.
Colorguard
Interested in whirling flags and guns in coordination with
music? MSJ Colorguard does just that, and having won many
honors across the state, has become one of the most
intriguing aspects of our school. Tryouts for the Colorguard
team are at the end of the year.
Concert Choir
and Chamber Chorale
For those who have a knack for singing, there are two great
classes that can be found on Mission that can fulfill
everyone's singing desire. For the singers who feel they
need some more experience in singing and reading music,
there is Concert Choir. And for those who have greatly
improved in the field of singing (or those inherently
talented), auditions are held at the end of the school year
for inclusion into the prestigious Chamber Chorale. Chamber
students sing beautiful pieces in up to eight-part harmony
and performs concerts from the Bay Are to Orange County (on
their annual chorale tour) through out the year.
Gravel Pit
Gravel Pit is a breakdancing club, team, and really the
social gathering of hip-hop/breakdancing enthusiasts. In our
club we encourage practicing and dedication to the art and
culture of hip-hop and breaking. Anyone is welcome to join
or watch. We promote the success of others and allow
beginners a chance to learn this incredible art and its
culture.
Impromptu
What distinguishes this club from other music programs is
that the Impromptu encourages the innovative aspect of music
- i.e. composition - and the collaboration of small music
groups that range from a duet to a chamber orchestra,
depending on the number of musicians and the level of
skills. Public performance, an essential part of the club,
not only promotes students to become more active in the
community but also provides a unique opportunity to play or
sing their own compositions and those of their favorite
composers within small ensembles. Join us for a year of
endless musical creativity
Mission
Guitar
Mission Guitar offers an opportunity for guitar enthusiasts
to come and boost their musical skills. Our club will
provide lessons from experienced players who will help
increate talent and ability. Members will be introduced to
the performing environment through events and club
activities. Whether you can play or not, come and see
because our Mission: guitar.
Universal
Performers
Contrary to popular belief, the Universal Performers do
not actually perform around the universe, for it is simply
too big for us to cover. Actually, being a UP member does
not require you to be an active performing arts member at
all! The only requirement is that you love the performing
arts (as an audience member or performer). Whether it be
Band, Theatre, Choral Music or Technical Theatre, UP has a
place for everyone. A few of its wonderful benefits include
discounts on the Fall Play, Spring Musical and our Annual
Jazz Dance hosted at the Marriott Hotel. In addition to
discounts, as a UP member you are eligible to join us on
thrilling and informative field trips three times a year to
San Francisco So if you love performing, watching performers
or just love the universe, come to the Little Theater any or
every Monday and join the fun that is UP!
