Fall “Marching Band” AND Spring “Symphonic Band" (Winds) or "Percussion Ensemble"

Fall Show details: Our shows are always entertaining: this current year's show Egyptian pyramids were on the field! The year before last had an erupting volcano! Next year our show will be revealed at our Spring Band Banquet and will be just as entertaining and fun. YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF IT!

College Scholarships: Did you know that most colleges and universities give scholarships and/or room and board waivers to students to be in their band? The likelihood of receiving scholarships for incoming freshmen is higher for college marching band and/or concert band students than for students in other activities!

Academic Benefits: Students in band have higher ACT & SAT score averages than their fellow classmates and as adults, their lives are filled with the successes that are a direct result of band experiences: group cooperation, high self-esteem, understanding teamwork, developing a sense of persistence and performance confidence. These traits and the activity of being in high school band makes you more competitive in admissions for college. In fact, the likelihood of being admitted into college for students who continued in band is higher than most other applicants! Incoming freshmen are also more likely to be admitted into college if they audition and are a part of a college band, as well.
