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:
“If it were not for the intellectual snobs who pay—in solid cash—the tribute which philistinism owes to culture, the arts would perish with their starving practitioners. Let us thank heaven for hypocrisy.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The present is an age of talkers, and not of doers; and the reason is, that the world is growing old. We are so far advanced in the Arts and Sciences, that we live in retrospect, and dote on past achievement.”
—William Hazlitt (1778–1830)
“The textile and needlework arts of the world, primarily because they have been the work of women have been especially written out of art history. It is a male idea that to be “high” and “fine” both women and art should be beautiful, but not useful or functional.”
—Patricia Mainardi (b. 1942)
