Performing Arts

Maximize your child’s talents at Gilmour Academy, where we provide an outlet and a stage from which our students express their authentic voices.

Gilmour's Performing Arts program provides opportunities for students across all divisions. Toddlers begin with Music & Movement and Lower School students in Grades K-6 perform in Christmas and spring concerts, learn various instruments, receive formal vocal instruction, can participate in chorus, and are invited to perform in most of the Upper School drama performances. Sixth graders also participate in the Middle School band. Middle School students take band or chorus and all Middle Schoolers participate — on stage or behind-the-scenes — in the Middle School musical, presented each spring. At the Upper School, students choose from a variety of electives including Pops Ensemble, acting techniques, play directing and production, set design and scene painting, among others. Additionally, the Drama Club presents a play every fall and a musical each spring.
