Centennial Lane ES Bands
Welcome!
My name is Mr. Henley, and I am excited to continue as the CLES Band Director for the 2024-2025 school year. This website will be used for general information throughout the year such as suggested private instructors, summer practice suggestions, band demonstration videos for recruitment, band registration information, and important dates/events. Once students are enrolled in the band program, all additional and instructional information will be posted and shared via Canvas. Please reach out to Mr. Henley if you have any questions - brandon_henley@hcpss.org.

Instrument Rental Flyers
There are many local music stores that have instruments you can rent or purchase! If you are registering for band in the fall of 24-25, please wait until Mr. Henley confirms your instrument choice before renting an instrument. If you registered in the spring and your instrument was confirmed, feel free to rent an instrument and purchase supplies! Mr. Henley sent specific instrumental rental and supply information at the end of last school year.
