Performing Arts
Williamsville North has several ensembles: A String Orchestra (under the direction of Mr. Joseph Buckle), Wind Ensemble (audition required for entry), Symphonic Band, Jazz Ensemble (audition required for entry), Jazz Band, Chorale (audition required for entry), Mixed Chorus, Choraleers, Women's Chorus, and Men's Choir.
The music department also offers courses in Music Theory and AP Music Theory.
The Winter Spartan Spectrum Concert is presented annually by Music Department; it includes all the major ensembles plus small ensembles created by North students. The concert is run in the prism-concert style of the Eastman School, where applause is limited between performances and the transition to the next ensemble is immediate. The Spectrum Concert is a two-day event held before the winter recess each year.
The Theatre Department performs a musical production each year; while the Drama Club puts on a smaller dramatic production each fall.

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)
