High School Musical

The Herricks UFSD Music and Performing Arts department offers a wide variety of programs for its students. Instrumental lessons begin in the third grade, and 80% of its students are enrolled in the district's nine bands, nine orchestras and twelve choirs. Theory, composition. music history and theater classes are offered at the high school. Extra curricular offerings include Jazz band, musical theater, chamber orchestras and show choir. The Scottish Highlander is the Herricks school districts mascot. Highlander's Pride was composed as a march in the key of D major. The quarter notes are to be played short and detached placing emphasis on accents and articulation markings. The staccato markings are to be played short and sticky to mimic the percussive pulse of a marching Highlander. Enjoy this entertaining march as your students master a variety of articulations, dynamics and bowings. Notes by: Andrea Somma, Michele Sobolewski and Stephanie Lanuto
