Performing arts students are immersed in collaborative environments that encourage creativity and artistic exploration within vocal and instrumental ensembles, dance, and musical theatre. Taught by expert faculty, classes nurture artistic creativity, stretching students’ abilities and equipping them with the skills necessary to expand their performance capabilities and pursue post-secondary aspirations.
Courses offer students of all skill levels opportunities to grow as artists in their chosen disciplines and include Advanced Placement and Dual Enrollment options, with many opportunities to showcase their talents on stage and around the community.
The Villages Buffalo Bands is a comprehensive band program focused on making a positive difference in the lives of its members through creating a family-like atmosphere and providing meaningful, musical experiences. Through kindness, positivity, and hard work, our members strive to achieve their full potential as musicians and people.
Students gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of music as they build upon their musicianship and performance skills through the study of high-quality music in diverse styles. Student musicians learn to self-assess and collaborate as they rehearse, perform, and grow in music literacy.
Opportunities include:
These talented musicians and performers have proudly represented our school with multiple Superior ratings and Grand Champion titles over the years. With our new facilities and plentiful resources, the future looks bright for the Villages Buffalo Bands.
As always, “Great Band, Better People!”
Students explore elements of chorale and chamber singing including critical listening and aural skills, music theory and literacy, and ensemble performance. These courses play a significant role in shaping well-rounded performers who develop musicianship and ensemble performance skills through the study of high-quality music in diverse styles.
Our choirs perform around the community and in the winter and spring concerts at The Tracy Performing Arts Center and at district and state Music Performance Assessments (MPA) in which many students have consistently been recognized with Superior ratings for their efforts.
Students gain appreciation of dance as a technically challenging and culturally diverse performing art through courses in dance technique, choreography and performance, and world dance. Dance classes provide students with foundational skills in terminology, choreography, and dance sequences as they explore various dance genres including ballet, jazz, hip-hop, and modern dance.
Dance students develop confidence as performers as they learn technical and performance skills that bring their art to life on stage, with the opportunity to showcase their talents in the annual Student Choreography Showcase and Spring Dance Concert.
Through coursework and on-stage performances, musical theatre students develop invaluable academic and life skills including literary analysis, creative expression, self-awareness, public speaking, and teamwork through collaboration. By examining the contributions of major writers, composers, lyricists, and choreographers of musical theater, students learn to analyze the structures, stories, and settings of musical theater exemplars, ultimately translating to the performance setting in enriching theatrical productions.
Our theatre students take to the stage at the Tracy Performing Arts Center for two thought provoking and entertaining performances each year. Previous noteworthy productions have included The Hunchback of Notre Dame, A Christmas Carol, Little Women and more!
As a member of the VHS Fine Arts Academy, students have the opportunity to advance the Fine Arts coursework started in ninth and tenth grades. Our students will choose one course in the Fine Arts during their Junior year and two Fine Arts courses during their Senior year. These courses may be a blend of the various Fine Arts areas of visual arts, dance, choir and band.
