Culinary Club - Mrs. Navarro-Lindsay & Ms. Blaesi
In this club students will familiarize themselves in the kitchen by creating new recipes each month.
Dramatics Club - Ms. DeGrave
This club is open to all students and requires no previous experience or audition. Unlike the musical, there's no extended commitment or final performance; students can come to the club when their schedule allows and take the late bus home. Students will engage in theatre games, learn about performing, directing, writing, and the technical elements of theatre.
Jazz Band - Mr. Carbary
Jazz Band is made up of saxophone, trombone, trumpet, drum set, and piano players. Members of this ensemble are selected from current band members based on teacher recommendation, who excel on their instrument. Jazz Band will rehearse every Monday and Thursday after school.
Musical - Mrs. Volpe & Mrs. Bala
Each November, GCMS pus on a musical production! This opportunity is by audition only, but open to all students grades 6, 7, and 8. Auditions take place in September. No prior experience is necessary, and the directors will teach all of the audition material at the time of auditions. For students who are not interested in the performance aspect of musical theatre, there are often backstage or stage crew opportunities. Rehearsals do run beyond late buses and the performances are evening commitments. Listen closely to announcements for auditions.
Spartan Original Singers: Vocal Ensemble- Mrs. Ciarvella
The Middle School Vocal Ensemble is known as S.O.S. (Spartan Original Singers). This group combines singing and choreography and represents GCMS at various events in the school district and community. Auditions are held in September for 7th and 8th grade students enrolled in chorus.
Talent Show - Mrs. Martinek and Ms. Davenport
