competitions since Amy Blosser became the choral director. Competing in the AA category, the highest category, they have received a "Superior" rating (the highest rating possible) the last 5 years at the competitions. Members of The Vocal Ensemble are well known for their dedication to the choir, as most of the members also participate in the Autumn play and the Spring musical. Every year the choir travels on tour to either a place in the country, or as in every three years, they tour overseas. The 2007 tour was to Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
. The 2008 tour was to Chicago, Illinois, and their 2010 tour is to New York City
to sing in the legendary Carnegie Hall
. In their overseas tour in the summer of 2006, the choir traveled to various nations in Europe
. The Vocal Ensemble is not unlike a high school varsity football team in that, after every year they lose a significant amount of members because of graduation. The Men's section of the group has lost a significant amount of their members after the 2006-2007 school year as only one member of both Bass sections remains. Because of this, a large amount of men who were either first or second year members in the 2006-2007 year were accepted as members of The Vocal Ensemble for the upcoming year. Despite these losses, the 2007-2008 Vocal Ensemble still posted unanimous "Superior" ratings at the 2008 state competition. Members of the Vocal Ensemble can range from a second year member who was outstanding in their first year, to third and fourth year choral members. The 2008-2009 Vocal Ensemble toured across Europe in Vienna, Austria, where they sang in the famous St. Stephen's Cathedral
, Budapest, Hungary, and Krakow, Poland. The posting of the members of Vocal Ensemble for the upcoming year is very anticipated by most choir members, and has the possibility of being the highlight of a student's high school career.

Volleyball Program
After another disappointing season in 2009, it is clear that Bexley Volleyball is not where it wants to be. After setting a school record for wins in the 2007 season, going 25-2, Bexley has not had any successful seasons since. Reasons for this include poor team chemistry and mourning the loss of their hugely successful 2007 senior and junior class.Soccer program

Between the men and the women they have combined for 12 State Final Fours since 1999.The Men's team has won two state championships in its history (2003 and 2005) and have had multiple Final Four and Regional Final finishes. They have also had a flurry of All District, All State, and All Americans recipients. The Men's program won their league championship for 15 straight seasons, until the streak was snapped in 2008.

Choral Program
The Choral program at Bexley High School has been extremely successful for the past decade. The Choral department is broken up into 5 separate choirs. Each choir has a distinct difference from the next, and each focus on different things. All five choirs are directed by Amy Blosser and accompanied on the piano by Casey Cook-Westfall.Men's/Women's Glee
Men's and Women's glee are the "entry" choirs of the five. These two choirs focus on basic music theory and sight-reading of short, simple pieces of music. Another focus of Men and Women's Glee is tone quality, as in earlier choirs this was not stressed and in cases, not mentioned at all. The members of the two Glee choirs are mostly first year freshman, unless an older student is trying out choir for the first time. Also, rare exceptions have been made where participants are "held back" in Men's or Women's Glee as they are not ready to progress.Symphonic Choir
The Symphonic Choir is considered to be the only mid-level choir of the five. (Men's and Women's glee being the lowest, and Women's Chorale and Vocal Ensemble being the elite.) The main focus while in Symphonic Choir is leaving the lower level music and progressing to tougher music to sight-read. Symphonic Choir is usually the student's first opportunity to be in a mixed choir, and the learning curve of this task is also stressed. The majority of Symphonic members are second year choral members, with exceptions of first year members who are either selected because of a schedule conflict, or the feeling by the director that they are too talented to begin in Men's or Women's Glee.Women's Chorale
An all women's choir, Women's Chorale is the first of the two elite choirs in Bexley High School. There are students who participate in both the Vocal Ensemble, and Women's Chorale. This is usually very rare, with only three students attempting this in the 2009-2010 school year. Women's Chorale has performed very well recently at the OMEAOhio Music Education Association

The Vocal Ensemble
The most prestigious choir in the Bexley High School choral program, it is the goal of most members of the choral program to make it into the Vocal Ensemble. Vocal Ensemble performs in the SSAATTBB (Two Soprano, two Alto, two Tenor, and two Bass sections) format. The Vocal Ensemble has been dominant in the recent years in the OMEAOhio Music Education Association
