Music at Cariboo Adventist Academy
The CAA Music Program is headlined by a senior band for high school students and advanced elementary students, and a senior choir for high school students. Both ensembles perform locally at least four times each year and go on annual music tours. Recent music tours have gone to places such as Edmonton, Red Deer, Victoria, Vancouver, Kelowna, Salmon Arm, and Kamloops.
​
The senior band has a training program in elementary, with students beginning in recorder club (grades 3-6) and then advancing to the beginning band program (grades 4-10). We hope to add an elementary choir program beginning in fall 2025.
Fundraising Projects
Running a music program is expensive and we thank the many donors who have provided funds to allow us to purchase musical instruments, pay for uniforms, and go on musical trips that have created memories the students will carry with them for the rest of their lives.
​
We continue to solicit funds, to cover the cost of new instruments, uniforms, sheet music, and trips.
