The Ponus Ridge Music Department offers students an opportunity to be involved with performing ensembles, music classes, and also supports musical theatre.
GENERAL MUSIC offers an exciting, new way to look at music. Students learn about different genres of music and composers. Students learn the instruments of the orchestra, and are exposed to classical music and composers as well as the history of modern popular music and how it has developed since the 1950s. Students get hands on experience with learning how to play the acoustic guitar as well. The GENERAL MUSIC elective offered to 8th graders is THEATRE ARTS, and gives students opportunities to learn about acting, improvisation, stage makeup, prop building, and other important facets of theater.
PERFORMING ENSEMBLES offered at Ponus Ridge include Band, Orchestra, and Chorus through all three grade levels. These ensembles perform concerts at Ponus Ridge, and participate in dozens of events outside of the school each year.
PONUS MUSICAL - Ponus is known for being one of the first middle schools locally to produce musicals each year. Cast members are Ponus students who perform shows annually in the Spring. Past shows performed include Annie, The Wizard of Oz, Grease, and The King and I, just to name a few.
