Students in grades 4-12 participate in NCMEA All-County ensembles, and students in grades 7-12 participate in NYSSMA All-State ensembles. The high school music program has garnered impressive accolades, with the Concert Choir and Vocal Jazz Ensemble earning “Level Six Gold with Distinction” ratings at the NYSSMA Majors, and the Mixed Chorus winning first place at the Darien Lake Music Fest, a historic achievement for the school. Additionally, four singers, one instrumentalist, and one alternate were accepted into Conference All-State ensembles, setting a new record for Lockport.
