Musical Activities
The Mendham High School Music Department is made up of the Band (Tim Beadle), Choir (Patricia Danner), and Orchestra (Mary Daly).

The band has several extra-curricular programs outside of the "Concert Band". There are three Jazz bands, a "Pep Band" (for basketball games) and marching band. The marching band competes regularly and during spring break in 2012 traveled to Orlando.
- Orchestra
The orchestra program has several string ensembles and prides itself on the high level of musicians that pass through the program.
- Choir
The choir is organized into a regular, concert choir and an advanced chamber choir. These classes meet during the school day and are made up of all choir students. There are also four extra-curricular programs: Mendham Voices (auditioned, co-ed, approximately 20 students), Women's Ensemble (not auditioned, female), Octet (auditioned, female, eight girls) and Men in Black A Cappella (auditioned, male, approximately 17 guys).

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or activities:
“I think no woman I have had ever gave me so sweet a moment, or at so light a price, as the moment I owe to a newly heard musical phrase.”
—Stendhal [Marie Henri Beyle] (1783–1842)
“No culture on earth outside of mid-century suburban America has ever deployed one woman per child without simultaneously assigning her such major productive activities as weaving, farming, gathering, temple maintenance, and tent-building. The reason is that full-time, one-on-one child-raising is not good for women or children.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
