The high school boasts a Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Concert Band, Pep Band, and Jazz Band.

The Choral Department hosts the Masterworks Ensemble, the Meridian Chorale, and the Mixed Chorus. Other performing choirs are the Scarlet and Gray Show Choir, and The Spartanaires, a mixed chamber ensemble. All groups in the music department are by audition only, at the discretion of the individual directors.

Famous quotes containing the words music and, music and/or arts:
“Music and Wine are one.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“And in the next instant, immediately behind them, Victor saw his former wife.
At once he lowered his gaze, automatically tapping his cigarette to dislodge the ash that had not yet had time to form. From somewhere low down his heart rose like a fist to deliver an uppercut, drew back, struck again, then went into a fast disorderly throb, contradicting the music and drowning it.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“These modern ingenious sciences and arts do not affect me as those more venerable arts of hunting and fishing, and even of husbandry in its primitive and simple form; as ancient and honorable trades as the sun and moon and winds pursue, coeval with the faculties of man, and invented when these were invented. We do not know their John Gutenberg, or Richard Arkwright, though the poets would fain make them to have been gradually learned and taught.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
