There are three instrumental groups at Hunter High that compete in various competitions.

The band includes Brass Instruments, Woodwind instruments, Percussion Instruments, and occasionally a Piano. There are occasionally some other instruments, but these make up the majority.

Students in Wind Ensemble practice their various pieces throughout the year, performing in a large concert around the Winter holidays, and then competing in a region competition near the end of school in the spring.

[edit] Jazz Band

The Jazz Band is an audition band, and only accepts those committed to learning the music. It emphasizes solos, and the learning of quite advanced pieces of music. They also perform at the Winter Concert with the Wind Ensemble, and participate in their own competition in the early spring.

[edit] Orchestra

This group uses entirely String instruments. They also perform in the Winter Concert, and have their own competition as well. Occasionally they will include members of the Wind Ensemble to help them with pieces requiring wind instruments.

Soprano/Alto Choir is a women's choir.

[edit] Mixed Choir

Mixed Choir is the open choir that is available to all students who attend the school.

[edit] Polynesian Choir

The Polynesian Choir is the only school choir of it's kind in the state of Utah geared towards students of pacific islander descent.

[edit] Concert Choir

Concert Choir is an audition choir at Kearns. The standard is a little higher, so the group performs more difficult pieces. As well as school concerts, they also perform in a region competition in the spring.

[edit] Madrigal Choir

The Madrigals are also an audition choir at Kearns. In order to help unify the choir, blend and talent are both key factors in the auditions. This group also performs at the choir concerts, and competes in a region competition in the spring. They are also required to prepare either a solo or smaller group number to be performed at that same competition.
