Musical Activities
The Mendham High School Music Department is made up of the Band (Tim Beadle), Choir (Patricia Danner), and Orchestra (Mary Daly).
- Band
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:
“Through man, and woman, and sea, and star,
Saw the dance of nature forward far;
Through worlds, and races, and terms, and times,
Saw musical order, and pairing rhymes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“That is the real pivot of all bourgeois consciousness in all countries: fear and hate of the instinctive, intuitional, procreative body in man or woman. But of course this fear and hate had to take on a righteous appearance, so it became moral, said that the instincts, intuitions and all the activities of the procreative body were evil, and promised a reward for their suppression. That is the great clue to bourgeois psychology: the reward business.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
