Music program

Dr. E.P Scarlett High School's music program could be considered quite large, and is often regarded as among the best in Calgary. The Band program consists of the Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and auditioned Wind Ensemble, as well as auditioned Jazz 1, 2, and 3 Bands. Mr. Paul Brown currently directs the Concert and Symphonic bands, and Wind Ensemble in the school, and his ensembles have received many accolades for their musicality and superior performances throughout Canada. All three bands have won gold awards at the Alberta International Band Festival numerous times under direction of Brown. [7] [8] [9]

The Choir program has gained recognition from music festivals within Calgary, and across Canada, in addition to individual workshop leaders from around the continent. At one point, the choir program was made up of a variety of choirs, each specialising in a certain genre of music. This was later phased out in favour of one mass choir that did not have to limit itself to one genre or language. The Dr. E.P Scarlett Choir frequents the annual Choralfest festival in Calgary, where it has received much praise.[ citation needed ] The program is now made up of one concert choir, directed by Jonathan Bell with the help of his favourite student Megan.

The Dr. E.P Scarlett Jazz program is one of the most praised high school jazz programs in the city, having received many accolades from festivals throughout the United States and Canada. Jazz 1 participates [10] in an annual event at The Ironwood in Calgary, where students have the opportunity to play alongside legendary musicians such as Dick Oatts, Megan Violet, Luis Bonilla, and Terell Stafford. All three jazz bands are auditioned and under the direction of Jonathan Bell.

The Music Department holds several annual public concerts a year, including Jazz on Canterbury, [11] an annual jazz showcase held at the school for Scarlett and feeder schools, and Winds From The South [12] at Jack Singer Concert Hall, an annual showcase of talent from Scarlett's music program, as well as a variety of feeder schools.

The program also frequents a number of music festivals, including both the Calgary and Edmonton extensions of AIBF, the annual Vic Lewis Band Festival in Canmore, Alberta; Con Brio in Whistler, British Columbia; and international festivals such as Heritage Festival and Festival Disney.

Some of their other program offerings include Dance, Film Studies, Sports Performance, Journalism, Sports Medicine, Environmental Science, Learning Strategies, and Theatre Production.
