Greenwood’s music program is designed to provide students with rewarding and authentic performance opportunities. The school offers a band and vocal program for Grades 7-12, as well as a school choir and junior and senior jazz bands. These ensembles regularly perform at school events and around our community. Our music students have paired up with the GCS Drama department this year to put on Newsies, which will feature a pit band made up of Greenwood students and incorporate the artistic contributions of over 100 students. In the spring, we will gear up for our annual school Arts Show with performances and showings from our Instrumental Music, Film, Media, Visual, Drama, and Vocal Music programs.
