Greely Middle School Jazz Band
Our Greely Middle School Jazz Band, at the Maine State Jazz Festival, Millinocket. The kids played great and Nathan Howell received an outstanding musician award for his amazing drumming!
NHS Induction at GHS
The Greely High School Chapter of the National Honor Society welcomed its new members at an induction ceremony on March 21st. Inductees included 8 seniors and 47 juniors. Inductees must meet criteria in the areas of Scholarship, Character, Leadership and Service. The current members and advisors helped welcome these amazing students into the GHS Chapter.
District-Wide Band & Chorus Concerts
Our District wide concerts provide students family and friends an opportunity to view the entire program grades 5-12 band and 4-12 chorus. The performing arts program at Greely enjoys these concerts, as it is a unique moment for older students to reflect upon their learning and younger students to imagine their path forward. These concerts have been held since 2007 and they are very popular with both parents and students. The seniors are honored and the younger students are able to see seniors that have been able to balance a wide variety of learning on and off the the field/stage and traditional classroom throughout their time at Greely. This year, the All District Band concert was held on March 8th and the All District Chorus concert was on March 27th.
