Commodore Drumline

he Vergennes Drumline is the battery section of Commodore Marching Band. While the public often sees the drumline as solely a part of the larger marching band, the drumline practices on its own, has its own student leadership and performs many of its own cadences and songs. Members of the drumline usually consist of the middle and high school percussion section who then learn to specialize on either marching snare, tenors, bass or cymbals.

Commodore Jazz Band

One of the oldest and largest high school jazz bands in Vermont, the Commodore Jazz Band is a 25 piece big band that studies and performs nearly 100 years of jazz repertoire from 1920s swing era music all the way to 1950s bebop and modern funk fusion. Commodore Jazz is a before school, not for credit, ensemble for students proficient on their instruments and willing to work outside of the school day. They can be seen performing around the Champlain Valley and have been invited to perform at the Burlington Jazz Festival the last 3 years.

Green Team

Math Team

Math team is designed for students who enjoy doing math problems.  We have 5 meet competitions throughout the year where we compete against BFA St. Albans, Burlington, Colchester, CVU, Essex, Mt. Abe, Sth. Burlington, Mississquoi, U-32, Montpelier and Rice. Twelve minute tests are given in the areas of Arithmetic, Geometry, Algebra, Advanced Math. Then 5 students will compete in a 20 minute team test.  We always end the competitions with milk and cookies.

National Honor Society

The National Honor Society is a society open to any Junior or Senior who has a scholastic average of 3.45 or better.  The students are then invited to fill out an information sheet listing any leadership roles in the school/community and any volunteer services that they have done for the community. The students are then judged by a Faculty Council and selected as being outstanding with regards to Character, Leadership, and Service to the school and community.  

The object of this chapter is to create an enthusiasm for scholarship, to stimulate a desire to render service, to promote worthy leadership, and to encourage the development of character in students of Vergennes Union High School.

The students have done this by assisting students as peer tutors, blood drives, walkathons, collecting gifts for local children during the holiday time and other service projects.
