Music
Marching Band
The band was formed in 2004 when the school first opened and was originally directed by Robert Gibson who was an assistant director for the Dublin Coffman Marching Band. Currently the Dublin Jerome Marching Band plays music under the direction of Brian Stevens and assistant director Micah Abrams. The Band has received a 'I' at the Ohio Music Education Association (OMEA) state finals for its entire existence (2004 - Present). Their highest score in OMEA competition is currently 272 scored in their inaugural season (2004). The band has also competed on the Midstates Band Association circuit since 2007, scoring a 73.9 [4] in its first season in finals. The band is now ranked third in the state due to it's excellent performance at the Buckeye Invitational in the fall of 2010.
Orchestra
The Dublin Jerome Orchestra plays a combination of both classical and more modern music. It is conducted by Michelle Adair and has three concerts per year. The last concert of the year is the Concerto Concert in which three soloists perform, accompanied by a full orchestra. Pieces performed in the past have included Faure Elegie cello concerto, Bruch Violin Concerto, Sergei Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto, Tchaikovsky's 1st Piano Concerto, and other well-known works.
Choir
The Dublin Jerome Choir has been under the direction of Jeanne Wohlgamuth ever since the school's opening in 2004. The group as a whole performs once at the yearly Holiday Showcase and once again in the springtime for an original concert. Each time the choirs have gone to competitions (most notably, OMEA contests), they have received a "I" (superior) rating. The two higher choirs at Jerome, the chamber group A Capella and the all-girls group Chorale, have been invited to perform in New York's Carnegie Hall in April of 2010.
