Courses such as Musical Composition and Guitar are also offered. Concerts are held throughout the year, including the annual Ensembles Night, Fall/Winter/Spring Concerts, and Final concerts. The department also holds an award ceremony, congratulating students for a job well done during the year they were in the department.
Drama is offered in Pinetree's Treehouse Theatre. Students may expand their performance ability by participating in school plays or in the school's award-winning improv team, Code Orange. The shows put on by the drama department sometimes feature pit bands, singing/dancing performances and audience interaction.
Pinetree's student body also releases a monthly newspaper called The Inbox that is completely student run.
