Music
Lisgar has a huge selection of ensembles to take part in. These include Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Senior Orchestra, Choir, and Jazz Bands. In total, there are 10 different groups. These groups take part in many music competitions, including Kiwanis, where Lisgar often takes home gold. Every year, there are two major performances given by all the ensembles, Winter and Spring Music Nights (in December and May). At these performances, students have the chance to demonstrate the skills they have achieved throughout the year to the parents. Each year, it is a huge success.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Not to sink under being man and wife,
But get some color and music out of life?”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“During the cattle drives, Texas cowboy music came into national significance. Its practical purpose is well known—it was used primarily to keep the herds quiet at night, for often a ballad sung loudly and continuously enough might prevent a stampede. However, the cowboy also sang because he liked to sing.... In this music of the range and trail is “the grayness of the prairies, the mournful minor note of a Texas norther, and a rhythm that fits the gait of the cowboy’s pony.””
—Administration in the State of Texa, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“A woman drew her long black hair out tight
And fiddled whisper music on those strings
And bats with baby faces in the violet light
Whistled, and beat their wings
And crawled head downward down a blackened wall....”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
