During this time, the ETHS Faculty will review the requirements, due dates, and procedure for the program and will provide an overview of all ETHS Fine Arts co-curricular and extra-curricular activities that qualify for the Honors Credit Program. The Honors Credit Program Outline & Planning Packet will be distributed to all band, choir, and orchestra students at the beginning of the school year. For a detailed layout of our Honors Credit matrix, click or download our Honors Credit Planning Packet linked below. Our Music Program honors credit philosophy mirrors that of other classes in our school and thusly reserves credit solely for ETHS sponsored events. The ETHS Honors program awards points for enhanced experiences through participation and excellence in ETHS sponsored events, ensembles, and opportunities. Outside of ETHS, our students hold seats in the Merit Academy, Chicago Youth Symphony Orchestra (CYSO), Midwest Young Artists (MYA), and many other fine performing ensembles. Additionally, our students represent ETHS in the Northshore High School Honor Band and the Northshore Concert Band Lifetime of Music program. Our students also represent ETHS in the District 7 Illinois Music Educators Association Honor Band, Honor Orchestra, and Honor Jazz Bands, many of whom go on to represent us at the annual All-State Conference.
The ETHS Music Program offers many additional performance opportunities for our instrumentalists such as the annual Honors Recital, auditions for Senior Soloists, and our Solo and Ensemble Festival. Additionally, our band students hold positions in the Symphony Orchestra, the Pit Orchestra for our annual spring musical, YAMOrchestra (the musical accompaniment to our student written/directed theatre production called YAMO), Basketball Pep Band, and various small chamber ensembles. The Evanston Township High School Band Program consists of three curricular Concert Bands, the co-curricular Wildkit Marching Band, and an extensive extra-curricular Jazz Program made up of three Jazz Big Bands and nine Jazz Combos.
