Winter Waltz

A social highlight of the year is the Garfield Winter Waltz, in which the Orchestral ensembles play live music, typically on a dark winter night, to share a joyous evening of dancing and music.  There’s a dance floor, waltz lessons, and a rotating set list of waltzes, old and new. The event is open to Garfield students, families, staff, and supporters. We hope to see you there!

Music Festivals and Trips

Each year, Garfield’s orchestra, band, and drumline ensembles participate in regional music competitions and trips as a means of getting performance experience and feedback. A list of upcoming trips can be found on the events calendar.
