Fine Arts Clubs & Activities
Our experiences in the arts go beyond the classroom. We’re proud to offer these Fine Arts extracurriculars:
Colorguard
These talented performers complement the marching band’s music with high-energy routines, their colorful flags and synchronized movement adding another layer of visual excitement to every performance. They bring an extra dose of energy and visual flair, supporting the marching band and amping up the crowd.
Dance Team
Our dance team brings the heat. Girls meet twice a week to practice routines for a variety of events, including performances on and off campus, like parades (New York, Toronto, Chicago, Walt Disney World), at concerts and more!
Drama Club
The Drama Club is an entirely student-run organization dedicated to producing a play every spring. Leaders include a student director, student producers, and a student stage manager. Male students from local high schools are welcomed and encouraged to audition.
Fall Musical
MSM’s annual musical is an opportunity to showcase the vocal, instrumental, and dance talents of the students here at Mount. Male students from local high schools are also welcomed and encouraged to audition.
Orchestra Club
For students interested in being part of our strings ensemble. The Club meets on select Tuesdays afterschool with small group lessons offered on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Students that are interested in joining this club, please reach out to our strings instructor – Ms. Nigrin.

Gemtones
The Gemtones are the advanced choral group here at Mount St. Mary Academy. The group is made up of all auditioned members.
We participate in community activities such as seasonal caroling, tree lighting ceremonies, Veterans tribute concerts, and any special event or liturgy that we are called upon to do. Aside from sharing our voices for community service and leadership in school liturgy, we also perform concerts with traditional, musical theatre, and pop choral styles. Each member of the Gemtones receives individual vocal lessons as part of their classwork. We participate and sponsor our annual Coffee House Vocal Performance fundraiser and reception, and our annual formal Vocal Recital. We also proudly elect student officers to assist in the organization of our vocal group each academic year.

Be a part of the only all-girls marching band in NYS!
Reflections

Swing Choir
An audition-based ensemble sponsored by St. Joseph Collegiate, our brother school. We are proud that our Mounties represent our school by sharing their amazing talents of song and dance, but also dedicate their hearts to service.
