Aside from their ordinary duties as members of band, choir, and/or orchestra, participant students are also asked at times to put aside their spare time and help the group: the Pioneer Marching Band participates in many weekend band shows and is in attendance at every football game; the Fiddlers traveled to Toronto for nearly a week to play there; and to pay for the Madrigal Singers' now nearly annual trip to Disneyworld, choir members often participate in great "Feastes" and help with the school's annual musical. Below is a list of musicals that have been performed since this tradition's inception at EHS.
