Sacred Heart School Band & Chorus

​The Sacred Heart School Band and Chorus have proven to be powerful enhancements to the school’s fine arts offering. More the half of the students eligible to take part in the program have elected to do so. The band has given concerts at both local Catholic schools and for the parish/school community. Instruments include flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone, euphonium, and percussion. Students attend two instrumental classes per week. Most students rent or purchase their instruments. The school also has a limited number of instruments to lend.
