The Faith Academy Band has a strong tradition of excellence in performance. Beginning in grade 5 and continuing through the 12th grade, our bands have consistently received superior ratings at regional, state, and national events. Our students receive quality instruction on their instrument helping them to develop their talents and give them confidence in their ability as musicians. Students are exposed to a variety of musical experiences during their time in band which helps prepare them for their next level.

The Faith Academy DRAMA DEPARTMENT offers several opportunities for students to demonstrate their acting talents each year. The Chapel Drama Team (grades 7-12) presents human videos, musical interpretations, dramatic monologues and short skits for students during chapel sessions and for the general public throughout the year. Through these dramatic episodes, students are able to not only demonstrate their talents, but also to use their talents to positively influence the decisions made by their peers and others in their community. In addition to this chapel drama team, drama students perform at least three plays during the school year. The production types alternate annually between two rotations. Each year, the FA Drama Team (grades 7th – 12th) presents two productions alternating between full-length plays and musical productions. Our drama department has produced over 44 plays, 7 musicals, & two short films in its fourteen years of existence. Forty-eight students have been named to the All-State Drama Cast.
