Mesa Ridge High School is located in Widefield School District 3 in southern Colorado Springs. Mesa Ridge opened in 1997.

Individual achievement, team effort, consistent improvement, group success, and musical enjoyment are the cornerstones of what has become one of the premiere music programs in the state. We credit the student's hard work and parent's support for the continued success of the Mesa Ridge Band Program!

They’ve had consistent #1 ratings at State Music Festivals in both Concert and Jazz Band for the last 26 years and have traveled to Dallas, LA, San Antonio, Reno, and Disneyland!

The Mesa Ridge Band and Color Guard are made up of nearly 100 of our finest students. Over 25% of the school's student body participate in the school's various, outstanding, music programs. Mesa Ridge has placed several musicians at All-State, All-City and several other honor bands across Colorado. Since scholastic achievement is paramount, the members of the band are expected to maintain high grades. As a result, the grade point average for the members of the band is well above the average for the school.
