Music
Music is very important in the life of the school. The high school offers classes such as concert band, jazz band, orchestra and various choral groups. The jazz band plays at sporting events and helps promote school spirit. Junior Chorale, Vocal Ensemble, Men's Chorus, and Campus Chorale perform concerts at the school and in local congregations. Chapel services provide another opportunity for students to share musical abilities as they assist in worship. The elementary and middle school music programs also provide many opportunities for vocal and instrumental instruction and performance. Through a special partnership program, students who desire a special music focus can take classes in Millersville University's Gifted and Talented Music Program. Lancaster Mennonite School provides the residential program and general education courses for students from all over the world who wish to study music at the University. Successfully completed courses are added to the students' high school transcripts.
