Learning about potential high schools is an exciting, but sometimes challenging process. As you prepare for the high school application process, we encourage you to learn about Fenwick, by attending an open house, scheduling a shadow day below and to send us your questions. We also hope that you will attend the many other events we host throughout the year such as athletic games and fine arts performances. Eighth graders who feel that Fenwick is the right fit and wish to apply, must take the Archdiocesan Entrance Exam at Fenwick in order to be considered for admission. The exam is held each year in early December.
Jazz Band Workshop Description Dive into the world of jazz with our middle school workshop, 'Groovin' in Harmony. This hands-on experience introduces students to the rhythmic wonders of jazz, covering swing, syncopation, and the art of improvisation. Students will participate in a group ensemble setting led by Fenwick Jazz Band director Andrew Zelm. No jazz experience is required and all band instruments, including woodwind, brass, piano, guitar, and bass, are welcome to attend. Participants must provide their own instrument, excluding piano.
Percussion Workshop Description This hands-on experience will introduce students to the many different instruments that make up a percussion ensemble. Students will learn to play the instruments and engage in a rhythm workshop, playing and counting rhythms and grooves as a group. At the end of the workshop, students will use their newfound skills and knowledge to perform a percussion ensemble piece together! Participants in the workshop will work with Fenwick percussion teacher Lucas Gillan. No prior percussion or instrument experience is required. Instruments will be provided.
