The Arlington High School Music program is a nationally recognized music program that has enjoyed many successes since its beginnings over 50 years ago.

The Arlington Central School District’s music program has been designated as one of NAMM’s Best Communities for Music Education every year since 2012. The department currently supports 5 concert bands, 5 orchestras, 2 choirs, 3 jazz ensembles, a 6-time state champion marching band, a national champion indoor color guard, a winter percussion ensemble, as well as numerous instrumental and vocal chamber ensembles.  The program offers participation in multiple bands, choirs, and orchestras as well as instruction in music theory, piano, and dramatic arts.  Over 500 students participate in programs offered by the music department each year.  

“The Arlington Central School District mission is to empower all students to be self-directed, lifelong learners, who willingly contribute to their community, and lead passionate, purposeful lives.”
