Welcome, Wolverine Musicians!

The 2011-2012 school year kicks off September 8, 2011, and Willamette Music is ready to take on the new year! We’re happy to welcome the class of 2015 to WHS, and know that they will be adding to our already fine tradition of musical excellence. Our ensembles (Jazz Band, WHS Topnotchers, Concert Band, Chorus & Vocal Technique, Concert Choir and Wind Ensemble) and our directors, Bart Ellis (Band) and Mike McCornack (Choir) are hitting the ground running. Check out our other websites in our link list to the right. We look forward to seeing you at our many performances this year!

Do You Have the 2011-2012 Handbook?

All WHS Music Classes use the same handbook as the source of information about the classes. General information about the Music Department, schedules and calendars, course syllabi and expectations, all this information and more is found in the handbook. All students should receive a paper copy of the handbook during the first week of classes. However, we do have the handbook available here as a downloadable PDF file.

Use the handbook; it can be a valuable tool. We recommend that you transfer calendar information from the handbook to your personal calendar so that you can keep track of WHS Music events. Let us know if you have questions about the handbook or other things related to our department.
