Visual Arts<\/h2>\n

The Visual Arts department offers students a variety of art classes they can take throughout their years at Sussman. All are semester-length classes with Art 6 being every other day (opposite P.E.). We explore various artists throughout history and use a large selection of materials and processes. Students have the opportunity to grow as an artist by taking all three of the classes.<\/p>\n

Drama Production<\/h2>\n

Our mission is to provide students with a thorough understanding and respect for all aspects of the theatrical profession. Throughout our program, the emphasis is placed on multiple facets of theatre: from acting onstage to assisting backstage; from the technical and creative set, prop and costume design to economic theory. Upon leaving our program, students will have the essential skills necessary for their transition into the more advanced high school elective that will continue to prepare them for a professional career, university courses or community theatre as a performer, creator or viewer.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”music” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” background_enable_color=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_3,1_3″ use_custom_gutter=”on” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Musical Programs<\/h2>\n

Band students at Sussman Middle School have many wonderful opportunities to explore different types of music and performing experiences.<\/p>\n

Students begin their journey in the beginning band class where students choose their instrument and learn to play with no experience necessary.<\/p>\n

Advanced Band, Marching Band and Jazz Band classes are open to 7th and 8th-grade students. Students have the opportunity to perform at band reviews, parades, concerts, festivals, theme parks and often get to travel to places like San Diego and Reno.<\/p>\n

The bands have won over 150 awards and honors over the past 20 years. The band family welcomes you to join and become part of this amazing group. Just register for beginning band, and we will take it from there.<\/p>\n
