Fine Arts

Brother Martin offers three areas of fine arts studies:
  1. Art
  2. Band
  3. Chorus

Art
These classes are open to tenth, eleventh and twelfth grade students. The course offerings aim to develop in students an understanding of art and sensitivity to art values. At the same time, art provides the opportunity for creative self-expression.

Band
This is a full-credit elective course that meets five times a week during the school day. Band is also available to eighth graders - (See Eighth Grade section for details.) Brother Martin's instrumental performing ensembles appear in public more than forty times per year. Attendance at all out-of-school rehearsals and performances is mandatory. Homework in the form of practice is assigned nightly.

The Band Department has a limited supply of school-owned instruments for rent. These include percussion equipment, tubas, French horns, baritone horns, oboes, piccolos and bassoon. Rental is $50 per year. In addition, the Crusader marching Band members are assessed a $60 uniform cleaning and refreshment fee for soft drinks at football games.


Chorus
This class is a full-credit elective course which meets daily. It provides training and experience singing music especially selected for high school male voices. These experiences are planned to develop a love for singing, to encourage participation in choral activities at school and in community, to give students a working knowledge of the principles of good singing, to acquaint them with some of the masterpieces of choral literature and to give proper training to maturing voices. Attendance at all rehearsals and performances is mandatory.
