About Shawnee Bands
The Shawnee Bands Mission StatementTo provide students of Shawnee Public schools the best possible education through a comprehensive musical experience aimed at promoting higher level thinking and comprehension as well as instilling integrity, discipline, and trust. By consistently encouraging students to give their personal and collective best, they will continually “raise the bar," maximizing the total potential of the group and achieving lifelong success.
The Shawnee Bands PhilosophySchools are a means through which a community teaches its children what it considers valuable. The ultimate concern is that each child be considered as an individual and treated with care and understanding which will aid in the fulfillment of our highest American ideals. Musical Organizations, such as Band, teach these same ideals. Each musician has his or her own part to play for the good of the group, but each person can also express his or her own individual feelings through music.
