In 2010, a fourth chorus joined the choral program—the all-male, after-school group, the '''Acafellas'''. The group is said to have been created after a demonstration of protest in favor of an all-male group, when many Chorus and Concert Choir males signed up to audition for Treble Chorus.

Hen Hud's student-run a cappella group, '''Singchronized''', was started in 2011, and sings at various concerts and events.

=== Orchestra ===
Since 1986, the Orchestra under the direction of Michael J Ambruster has sent students to Intermediate All-County, Area All-State Orchestra, Conference All-State Orchestra and even All Eastern Orchestra. The Hendrick Hudson Orchestra is an original member of a Four District Orchestra Festival that started during the 1960s and ending in 2005. Each year, 200 students from four school districts would combine their string and symphony orchestras to create an outstanding concert for the love of music without competition. The parents of Hendrick Hudson HS did hold the record for the most parents attending each year, no matter where the Festival's location was held. During all the years of this Festival,only two years the Festival had to be canceled due to snow:1985 and 1990. Students who have performed in the Hendrick Hudson Orchestra or were taught by Michael J Ambruster have gone on to major in music and now serve as Orchestra Director at Ossining High School and The Harvey School.
