Why join band and color guard?
"This is an organization that welcomes anybody of little to no experience in music, marching, or dancing so that everyone can take part in belonging to something with purpose and our purpose is to provide joy and encourage pride in our amazing school, so long as they are willing to put in the work, dedication, and commitment. We are a group that is dedicated to our craft and music plays an important role in our students lives because it is a place where they feel valued and that they know they belong. Our program will always be their home and our mission will always be to nurture each student holistically." - Ms Lui, Band Director
