Drama Program
The SJV Players are an award winning, after
school Performance and Technical Drama Troupe for 6th,
7th and 8th grade students, and is
directed by Yogi Mueller. The Troupe performs two shows a
year: a straight play in the fall and a musical in the
spring. Auditions are held, but past technical, voice or
acting experience is not required.
In addition, members of the SJV Players are
eligible to participate in District and State Competition. We
submit a one-act play every two years. The last two shows we
submitted received 1st place and Critique’s Choice

Band
Mr. Lisi
is the band director at SJV School. The instrumental music
program at SJV School consists of three bands; Beginning,
Intermediate and Advance. Students become a part of the
program in the 4th grade. Instruments are easy to
rent from outside sources. Mr. Lisi will advise parents as
to their best options. Intermediate band consists of
students in 5th and 6th grades who
have completed all the requirements for beginning band and
are ready for more advanced music. Advance band consists of
students from 6th through 8th grades.
These students are very well versed in playing their
instrument and reading music proficiently. Each of these
accomplished young musicians have a good background in
playing with others in a group band environment. Most 8th
grade students move on to high school band. All band
practices are held during lunch recess hours. All
instrumental lessons on all instruments are instructed by
Mr. Lisi.
Chorus
Mr. Lisi is the Chorus director at SJV School. Chorus
consists of students from 5th to 8th
grade. There is an audition held to determine if the
interested student has basic pitch control. There are no
levels involved (eg., beginning, advance, etc.). Most chorus
members join Chorus to enjoy singing various music styles of
Pop, Folk, etc. in a group performance situation. Mr. Lisi
instructs chorus members in voice control, pitch, breathing,
and other basics of singing. Chorus practices are held on
Monday afternoons at 1:50 p.m.
Choir
Cantors
Cantors are students from 6th through 8th
grade who show a very high interest and level of commitment
in singing for Wednesday morning school Masses. Cantors are
carefully auditioned and screened for their talents in
leading hymns and singing in a solo situation in front of
their peers. Cantor practices are held twice a week for each
individual who would be scheduled to cantor for the upcoming
Mass. Mrs. Ponder, Mrs. Riney, and Mr. Lisi work with
cantors. Auditions are held at the beginning of the school
year.
