Wind Ensemble The band includes brass instruments, woodwind instruments, percussion instruments, and occasionally a piano. There are occasionally some other instruments, but these make up the majority. Students in Wind Ensemble practice their various pieces throughout the year, performing in a large concert around the Winter holidays, and then competing in a region competition near the end of school in the spring. Jazz Band The Jazz Band is an audition band, and only accepts those committed to learning the music. It emphasizes solos, and the learning of quite advanced pieces of music. They also perform at the Winter Concert with the Wind Ensemble, and participate in their own competition in the early spring. Orchestra This group uses entirely string instruments. They perform in the Winter Concert, and have their own competition as well. Occasionally they will include members of the Wind Ensemble to help them with pieces requiring wind instruments. In 2006, they started accompanying student soloists in Concerto Night, a concert of held near the end of the school year. The first Concerto Night featured Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 2 and Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20. Vocal Mixed Chorus Mixed Chorus (formerly called Junior Choir) is the entrance choir at Hunter High. Anyone can be in Mixed Chorus. Mixed Chorus practices and performs at school concerts. They do not compete. Concert Choir Concert Choir is an audition choir at Hunter. The standard is a little higher, so the group performs more difficult pieces. As well as school concerts, they also perform in a region competition in the spring. Madrigal Choir The Madrigals are also an audition choir at Hunter. In order to help unify the choir, blend and talent are both key factors in the auditions. This group also performs at the choir concerts, and competes in a region competition in the spring. They are also required to prepare either a solo or smaller group number to be performed at that same competition. Drama The drama department is responsible for many events throughout the school
