Music

Welcome to the West Seattle High School Music Program!

The music program at WSHS is a growing, active and strong community. The Band, Orchestra, Jazz Ensemble and Pit Orchestra are the most active student groups on campus with a combined performance schedule of over 50 shows each year! In addition to many local performances, our ensembles maintain an active touring schedule with performances in Victoria BC, Vancouver BC, the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival at the University of Idaho and our 2014-15 Southern California Performance Tour. Visit the WSHS Music Program Website for information on our program.

The music program at West Seattle High School is built upon the goal of developing students not only as accomplished musicians and appreciators of art and culture, but also as leaders. Our goal is that every student will carry with them the skills inherent in the participation of music: teamwork, collaboration, confidence, creative thought and leadership. Our students carry themselves with pride in our program, our school and our community. Go Wildcats!
