Talk to Mr. Beise or Mr. Peterson about being part of the Eagles Music Department!
Evergreen's Music Department grows each year in participation and achievement.
In 2024-25, 35% of the student body participates in one or more Music Ensembles.
Each group has achieved high standards in Learning and Performance; Many of Mr. Beise's and Mr. Peterson's groups have received Superior Ratings (highest possible) at Festivals. EMS's Wind Ensemble and Jazz Band took overall wins at Music in the Parks 2023, '24, and '25!
Each year there are many opportunities for each student to learn and perform: Solo and Ensemble Festival; Marching Band (at Salmon Days Parade or Daffodil Festival); "Pep Band" and assembly performances; and many outside of school "gigs".
