General Information

We are so excited that you are considering becoming a part of our band program at Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School!

Here at SRMHS, the purpose of the band program is to educate young people through performance. Students are motivated through teamwork, performance objectives, and evaluation to mature as a musician, a performer, a student, and as a person. The curriculum is varied and cyclical in nature. The comprehensive program encompasses four years of high school study. Individual development of character, esteem, teamwork, and group accomplishment can be additional rewards of the program.

I'm sure that you have many questions regarding the band, and hopefully, this page will provide answers for you. After reading through this information, please feel free to contact our Band Director (banddirectorsrmhs@gmail.com) with further questions.

Registering for Band

Rising 9th graders will receive registration information from SRMHS and will be asked to choose an elective. These classes allow students to explore academic areas that are not offered in their "core" classes. Here at Southeast, we are a Magnet school that operates on a Modified year-long schedule. This means that students will be enrolled in a band class for the whole year!

If your student has already registered for another elective, or if your student did not turn in an elective registration form, it is still possible to enroll in band. Please contact our band director or your student's counselor for information on changing your student's schedule.

It is best to do this sooner rather than later, as schedule changes are discouraged after the first 10 days of school.
