Performing Arts

Concert Band, Symphony Band, and String Orchestra compete annually at Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association's Band and Orchestra Festival, consistently winning top rankings (1s) and advancing to the state level.  Students also have the opportunity to hone solo and chamber music skills through competing in MSBOA Solo and Ensemble, where they are adjudicated on  scales, sight reading, technique, and overall musicianship.

Music department students have the opportunity to participate in two  international tours during their time at CC and immerse themselves in the rich musical history of the western world — from  Handel's London to Debussy's Paris, or de Falla's Madrid— while performing in historic town squares and learning about  the art and history of  the area. 

Catholic Central continues to produce countless music educators and professional musicians, with students attending top music schools in the country. Recent graduates have continued onto programs at Wayne State, Michigan State, and University of North Texas.

Catholic Central offers several practice rooms in the  music wing, available by appointment, for individual or chamber music rehearsal by music department students.

Catholic Central offers several opportunities for students with no musical background to receive training. From semester-long courses in music theory or world drumming to beginning band, students quickly progress in theoretical and practical music skills.
