The mission of the band program is to provide a quality instrumental music education in a nurturing environment. The band program is dedicated to fostering aesthetic growth as an essential part of a student’s total education. The band
program exists to facilitate the highest level of musical achievement and character development through a comprehensive curriculum, in keeping with each student’s interest, needs and abilities.
