The music department at Althoff offers a wide variety of experiences. These include Show Choir, Concert Band, Cadet Band, Mixed Chorus, Gospel Choir, Jazz Band, and Pep Band. In addition to these, the music department also provides music for the Drama Department's spring and winter musicals. Studies have now shown that youth who study music are more likely to score higher grades in math and in English.
