March is Music In Our Schools Month. Schools with quality music programs outperform schools with limited music opportunities. Germantown schools benefit from the music made in our hallways. The GHS Music Department has several concerts planned to celebrate.
The GHS Music Department has a Resource Time Concert series. Performances are 9:52-10:27 in the PAC. Staff can join on the following dates.
Concert Choir- Tuesday, March 12
Wind Symphony - Wednesday, March 13
Pep Band/DC Trip Band - Thursday, March 14
SolTown A cappella Group - Friday, March 15
Choir Cabaret - Saturday, March 16.
Additionally, to celebrate Music In Our Schools Month, Tri-M students made locker decorations for all band and choir students in Grades 6-9. They also recognized the teachers who were in band or choir as high school students.
Members of the GHS Bands are traveling to Washington DC during Spring Break. On Sunday, March 24, they will perform on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial at 1:15 pm. This week, the band was practicing to ensure a fantastic performance.

On Sunday, February 18th, the team participated in its first competition event at the Sussex Scrimmage at Hamilton High School. Their robot competed in around 15 matches and was able to use swerve drive, pick up “notes” from the field, and shoot notes in the speaker.
The Mechanical Team has made a ton of progress on the competition robot, including finishing to collector and shooter. They built a wooden amp for the Drive Team to practice scoring in, and are currently also working on making the robot function more smoothly and installing the climb mechanism.
Congratulations to the boys’ basketball team on defeating Oshkosh North in the Regional Final last Saturday night. (They also won at home on Friday night against Hartford). The boys played Arrowhead in Sectionals last night at Hartford and came up a bit short. Well done on a great season!
