The ETHS Music Program offers many additional performance opportunities for our instrumentalists such as the annual Honors Recital, auditions for Senior Soloists, and our Solo and Ensemble Festival. Additionally, our band students hold positions in the Symphony Orchestra, the Pit Orchestra for our annual spring musical, YAMOrchestra (the musical accompaniment to our student written/directed theatre production called YAMO), Basketball Pep Band, and various small chamber ensembles. Our students also represent ETHS in the District 7 Illinois Music Educators Association Orchestra, Honor Orchestra, and Honor Jazz Bands, many of whom go on to represent us at the annual All-State Conference.The Evanston Township High School Band Program consists of three curricular Concert Bands, the co-curricular Wildkit Marching Band, and an extensive extra-curricular Jazz Program made up of three Jazz Big Bands and six Jazz Combos. The ETHS Music Program offers many additional performance opportunities for our instrumentalists such as our Solo and Ensemble Festival, chamber music opportunities, the ETHS Latin Music Ensemble, and the Wildkit String Band. In addition, opportunities exist for students to participate in the Jazz Program, the annual Spring Musical Pit Orchestra, YAMOrchestra (the musical accompaniment to our student written/directed theatre production called YAMO), and Chamber Ensembles.
The orchestra program at Evanston Township High School consists of three orchestras. Through the study of music theory, students will learn the inner workings of music and understand the importance of the foundations of music as they gain an understanding of music as an art form.
Through being a part of an ensemble, students will learn the value of teamwork and their role in creating a strong unified entity that provides opportunities to be both leaders and collaborators. Through performance, students will learn to appreciate a wide variety of musical genres as well as gain self-confidence as they grow in their own personal musical ability. Through the study of a varied repertoire of music, students are provided an opportunity to examine society through a unique cultural lens and embrace the unique aspects of those cultures that make every person equal regardless of race, gender, gender identification, religion, or sexual orientation. The Evanston Township Orchestra Program seeks to provide an enriching and relevant aesthetic experience for every student.
