Music Program

Quakertown has a parent-sponsored music support program that promotes the arts amongst QCSD, most notably at the high school level. Quakertown Music Promoters Organization (QMPO) helps to raise funds to defray costs of band competitions, district/region/state auditions, busing to various events, musicals, etc. Quakertown Panther Marching Band has won competitions on district, region and state levels. It has sent multiple students to the PMEA District, Region, and State Band Competitions. Quakertown Select Choir has toured to such places as Bermuda, Myrtle Beach, and other destinations. The Marching band travels to Florida every other year, and recently took a trip to California. They produce a musical every other year. QHS Select Choir also sends students to District, Region, State, and All-Eastern competitions. The school has tried to shut down the music program many times because of “funding” but they were never successful.
