Polar Drift is an extra-curricular ensemble at North High School that meets before and after school twice a week. A project many years in the making, Polar Drift was as an extra endeavor for solos and duets at Show Choir events. Polar Drift has now become a 30+ person ensemble of the music program and is now attracting students not participating in the curricular bands. Repertoire is selected through teacher knowledge and student input which fosters an active folder spanning multiple decades. Arrangements are primarily written by Mr. Hammerman, but students are given encouragement and tools to create their own.
