About

Picture
The Northrop Instrumental Music Department offers a wide variety of performing ensembles. It is our belief that students benefit the most from being exposed to as many different styles of music as possible. Many students are members of multiple performing ensembles throughout the year, and still more also perform with the choral and drama departments as well. We pride ourselves on being a "Total Department".
