how Choir

The Pike Performing Arts Department fields two choirs in the show choir division: the Pike Encores co-ed, and the Pike Mystiques female. Each has competed nationally. Pike High School annually hosts a show choir competition, Pike Musicfest, which is generally scheduled for the the second Saturday of March. One of Pike's non-show choirs, the Menz Choir, placed 3rd in a recent State competition, granting it the title of best all-male choir in Indiana for that year.

Marching Band

Pike is also known for the Pike Crimson Rage Marching Band which competed in the Indiana State Fair for many years, until becoming a competition band, instead of a Parade Band, in 2003. Because of the large number of Students attending Pike High School, the Pike Crimson Rage Marching Band was placed into Class A and competes against other Class A bands, such as Ben Davis High School and Avon High School. They have recently only been able to win their competitions by being the only competing band in the Class A division.
