Performing Arts
The school's performing arts department includes several groups of varying sizes: Symphonic Band, Stage Band, Drumline, "Odd's 'n Ends" Jazz Ensemble, Select Choir, Chorus, A Cappella choir, Marching Band and Dance Team. Several of the groups have performed around the Northeast and even in Canada. The Marching Band attends the Band Day at the University of Massachusetts Amherst annually and also performs at local parades, sporting events and fairs. The Dance Team has performed in TD Garden in Boston during a Boston Celtics basketball game, and has also won several awards in competitions around the Northeast. The Stage Band has traveled to several cities, including Providence, Rhode Island, Boston, and Montreal. The Kennett Drumline has also participated in many events throughout the area. They were chosen in 2009-10 to perform at the New Hampshire Music Educators Conference, and also to answer questions about setting up similar drumlines at other schools. The line performs regular shows in the spring of each school year, using different themes and acts. Several members of the department have also competed in prestigious festivals like New Hampshire All State (both band and chorus members), All New England Honors Band, and even national honor bands. The performing arts groups rehearse and play in the school's Loynd Auditorium.

Famous quotes related to performing arts:
“More than in any other performing arts the lack of respect for acting seems to spring from the fact that every layman considers himself a valid critic.”
—Uta Hagen (b. 1919)
