The Cullman Band Association membership is made up of the band directors from the Cullman County, Cullman City, and St. Bernard Preparatory School. 

The Cullman Band Association strives to make music an important part of our students lives.

The Cullman County Honor Band is just one of the ways in which we provide an opportunity for our students to learn and experience music with other students and guest conductors.
