Arts
Kamiakin's music program has been recognized as a top program in the state. In recent years, the percussion ensemble took second place at the state solo and ensemble contest in 2005. Soloists have attended the solo part of the contest and in 2008 one soloist took first place in the snare drum category. The marching band has done well competitively also. In 2007 at the Cavalcade of Bands competition, the "Scarlet Tide" marching band received second place in the AAA small category and the "Best Percussion" award.

Famous quotes containing the word arts:
“Musick is certainly a very agreeable Entertainment, but if it would take the entire Possession of our Ears, if it would make us incapable of hearing Sense, if it would exclude Arts that have a much greater Tendency to the Refinement of human Nature; I must confess I would allow it no better Quarter than Plato has done, who banishes it out of his Common-wealth.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“These arts open great gates of a future, promising to make the world plastic and to lift human life out of its beggary to a god- like ease and power.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“One man cannot practice many arts with success.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
