Composed of students from 8th through 12th grade, this ensemble emphasizes confidence-building through supportive instruction. The program is divided into two entities: fall and winter. During the fall, the ensemble collaborates with the Pride of Metuchen Marching Band, contributing to synchronized performances and mutual artistic growth. This partnership not only fosters unity but also allows students to showcase their skills in an outdoor setting.

​

Transitioning to the winter season, the focus shifts to advancing skills and techniques in a controlled environment. This period provides an opportunity for concentrated practice, enabling members to challenge themselves without weather-related limitations. Additionally, the winter season holds a competitive edge, with the ensemble participating in local competitions with the Mid-Atlantic Indoor Network circuit. In 2023, the ensemble achieved the prestigious honor of being named gold medalists in the Scholastic Novice class, a testament to their dedication and exceptional creative abilities.

Overall, the program nurtures both artistic prowess and life skills like teamwork and perseverance. Whether collaborating with the marching band in the fall or competing and refining skills in the winter, this ensemble offers a comprehensive experience that fosters artistic excellence and personal growth among its participants, exemplified by their gold medal achievement in 2023. We enter the 2024 winter season in a new class of Scholastic Regional AA.
