Ogden School District Music

At Ogden School District, creating music is important to our students’ growth and development. In elementary every student studies music for 1 semester a year. This program is designed to prepare our students for music study in secondary education.
Music choices in secondary include choir, band, orchestra, and guitar.  We are very proud of our high school performing groups.  Both of our district high schools offer thriving music programs.  Ogden High School offers marching band, jazz band, concert band, orchestra and choir programs.  While Ben Lomond High School offers a unique pipe and drum corps along with their orchestra, band and choir programs.

Elementary Festival of the Arts

Elementary Festival of Art

Elementary Festival of Art will be held virtually this year!

This year due to concerns about the spread of COVID 19 we have decided to hold the annual Festival of Art virtually.  This means that we will not be able to accommodate live performances this year, but we ask that you keep it in mind for next year.  Live performances will return next year!
