BAND IS AWESOME!
Dear Parents:
BAND IS AWESOME! If you are in the Heritage High School Band you get to Travel!
Being in the Marching Band means you get to go to…
EVERY Varsity Football Home and Away Game
Competitions on Saturdays (Karns HS, Alcoa HS, State Championship!)
Christmas Parades (City of Rockford, City of Townsend)
Spring Trip to Six Flags Over Georgia
(Must be enrolled in a Spring 2026 Heritage HS Band Class to go on trip!)
SIGN UP FOR CLASSES AS PRIMARY FOR REGISTRATION
Fall “Marching Band” AND Spring “Symphonic Band" (Winds) or "Percussion Ensemble"
Fall Show details: Our shows are always entertaining: fall 2024 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 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 make 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 that of 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.
