The band and orchestra programs, designed to provide students with a balanced study of music through performance, have flourished at North since its beginning.

In grades 6-8, students have the opportunity to learn an instrument and participate in a band ensemble. Students will learn how their instruments work, including notes and rhythm, playing technique, care and basic maintenance. Middle School band students have many performance opportunities throughout the year, including school concerts, city-wide festivals, playing stand tunes with the high school marching band, and individual honor band opportunities.

In grades 9-12, performance groups include marching band, pep band, concert band, and small ensembles. Students perform for all home football games and various concerts during the school year, and regularly tour throughout Texas and the United States.  Past tours have included locations such as Chicago, Little Rock, Phoenix, Portland, San Diego, San Antonio, Seattle, St. Louis, and New York City. In addition, the group is involved in TAPPS, TPSMEA, and ATSSB activities, to provide an outlet for individual and group competition.  Their talent and expertise is rewarded with several awards every year. 

 

Students who love to sing will find plenty to engage them.  North Academy offers a choir with additional opportunities for soloists and small groups within the choir.

Concert Choir is open to anyone wishing to sing. In choir, students learn musical terminology, and proper singing techniques, how to read a musical score, and most of all, learn how to use the gift of their voice in proclaiming the Gospel through music. 

The Concert Choir sings a variety of varying musical styles and genres and enjoys sharing these with their audience. The Choir competes annually in TAPPS competition and has regularly received high ratings, both in solo and small ensemble, as well as the whole choir. 

 

The Spring Musical is the main-stage performance each year with past presentations of The Wizard of Oz, Wonderful Town, and Seussical to name a few.

If your passion takes you behind the scenes, a vast array of technical theater work is available. Build sets, learn about stage lighting or design costumes.

High school emcees Estelle Shearon and Mitchell Stephens kept things moving for an appreciative crowd of over 100 people at each of the two performances.

The visual arts program is designed to let students explore their artistic and creative processes while developing skills in various mediums.

The art program accommodates a wide variety of levels and subject matter through courses like: Art 1: Fundamentals, Advanced Art: 2D, Advanced Art : 3D, Portfolio Construction, and Photography. Also, art students are able to showcase their talent and passion in school enrichment projects like:  chapel banners, murals, advertisements, and classroom artwork.

Visual arts and the creative process is a necessity, a God-given experience, an emotional outlet, and a human exploration that students here at LEAH Schools North Academy can share in a fun, safe, and Christian atmosphere.
