The music department needs to lighten up on "pressuring" young men to sing. The sole reason my son didn't do OPUS this last time was because if he did, he was required to do men's choir, regular choir and variety show. Last year all the rehearsals during school cut into his homework and study time....

I am a student here, and I am in 8th grade. It is an amazing school, with great staff and a great music program, which is really important to me. Students are eager and excited to learn, and come to school in a great attitude.
