Sentinel has a music program which features a a variety of bands. It has a concert band for grades 8-9. Here it deviates from most schools as it has a regular Stage/[[Jazz Band]] typically for people grades 10-11, an [[Orchestra]] which can encompass all grades, and a unique [[Rhythm and Blues]] band usually for those in grades 11-12. The latter is a band that plays songs done by artists and bands such as [[James Brown]], [[Aretha Franklin]] and [[Tower of Power]]. It learns songs by ear from the actual recording rather than from sheet music. This band not only plays in school events but also in many community events. A number of videos of the Sentinel Rhythm and Blues Band are currently available on Youtube. |
