Music Programs
Leigh High School is noted in the Campbell Union High School District for its many musical programs. Leigh High School offers a concert band, a symphonic band, a wind ensemble which requires an audition, and a jazz ensemble which also requires an audition. During the winter, the music program offers both Winter Percussion and Winter Guard programs, the latter which has become a World Guard and has ranked in the finals at world competitions.
Leigh also offers choir as a year-long class for all grades.
As of the 2008–2009 school year, the music program's parent association has changed its original name, Instrumental Music Parent's Association, to Performing Arts Parent's Association (PAPA), due to the combination of Leigh High School's drama, choir and band programs. More information can be found at www.leighpapa.org.
Leigh High School's Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Music Theory Class, Jazz Band, and Marching Band have been directed by Suzanne Holden since the beginning of the 2008–2009 school year.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or programs:
“Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you—like music to the musician or Marxism to the Communist—or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
“There is a delicate balance of putting yourself last and not being a doormat and thinking of yourself first and not coming off as selfish, arrogant, or bossy. We spend the majority of our lives attempting to perfect this balance. When we are successful, we have many close, healthy relationships. When we are unsuccessful, we suffer the natural consequences of damaged and sometimes broken relationships. Children are just beginning their journey on this important life lesson.”
—Cindy L. Teachey. “Building Lifelong Relationships—School Age Programs at Work,” Child Care Exchange (January 1994)
