• Clubs and Extracurricular Activities:

    Here at GTCHS, we have a variety of clubs and extracurricular activities for students outside of the traditional classroom. These often coincide with classes and shows and are a great way to get involved! 

Pit band

  • Musicians come together to learn and perform live music for our main theater musical production. They practice every Thursday, and then every day for extended times during tech week and the performances.

Jazz Band

  • Jazz Band is an after-school student-driven club where interested students learn jazz, blues, and rock styles in a small group ensemble environment. Students of any ability level are welcome. The Jazz Band performs at GTCHS functions such as awards days, spring concerts, and intake nights.

Technical Theatre

  • Also known as the Set Design Club, this group coincides with the technical theatre class and meets after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Here we create all the sets, props, and costumes for the school's main theater productions. This team also does the behind-stage production, managing and moving the set and helping the actors. The production team is limited and must attend every day of the tech week and productions.

They memorize and practice their lines, choreography, acting, staging, etc. They meet every day, for extended times during tech week and the performances.

Tech Team

  • The Tech Team meets for only a portion of the year leading up to the theater productions. They are trained and then work the lights and sound through a week of tech week rehearsals and during the productions. This includes the light board, spotlights, soundboard, and running mics backstage.
