The George Washington High School Instrumental Music Program encourages parents and students to actively participate in a vibrant musical community. Parents are invited to support their children by renting or purchasing instruments, attending performances, and participating in fundraising activities. Students are expected to maintain a B average, attend rehearsals, and practice daily. The program offers various musical ensembles and lessons at no additional charge, fostering both academic and artistic growth. Join us for an enriching musical year full of opportunities!
