Registration Instructions

2025-2026 REGISTRATION OPENS May 23 at 8:00 AM

To register for Band, Choir, or String Ensemble, visit the Music Academy Registration matrix below.
Click on the Group (ensemble) you want to join. The box should expand to show the Group Description, with your family members listed on the right hand side.
Check the boxes of the students you want to register for the group, and click the gray REGISTER button above their names.
Complete the Music Family Contract (found next to the Arts/Music menu option in HSL).

IN ADDITION, one parent per family must sign up for at least one parent job. In addition, all Music Club choir families will be expected to sign up for at least one Café parent job as this is our one fundraiser for the year. There are weekly volunteer jobs that occur at Music Academy Fridays, and event-specific jobs which mostly occur at performances. When you sign up your child, please choose your parent job as well.

Please email music@hcssd.org or call the school office if you need assistance registering.

NOTE: Music Academy registration will close on Sept. 26. Music classes and events run throughout the entire school year. Only students new to HCS may register mid-year with director approval.
