James Island Charter High School Music

The JICHS Music Program is currently growing! We have almost tripled our enrollment from 2007 to 2010 in all areas so that multiple levels of choir and piano classes are now offered. With the support of the JICHS Administration and Board, we have also expanded the curriculum to offer IB Music, Piano 1-3, Honors Strings, Honors Chorus, in addition to updating quality stringed instruments, purchasing new music and strengthening the entire string feeder pattern on James Island grades 5-12 in a few school years.

Students have participated in a multitude of different activities like Concert Festival, All-County Chorus, Region Orchestra, The Young Americans Workshop, Mark Wood’s “Electrify Your Strings” Program, and been apart of the Charleston Concert Association Intermezzo Club Concert Series, performed in small ensembles, performed at Pep Rallies, and even home Basketball games. We are currently premiering an original musical called “Flame” that features a new, more evil witch in Oz that takes the characters from Neverland and Wonderland through a struggle between good and evil. It will have everyone seeing RED!
