My Students

Welcome to the Band Hall! Where you're able to learn an instrument and creatively express yourself through the power of music! Every Student...Means Every Student! We focus on the providing the highest quality musical education for every student!

Many of our students voluntarily start their day at 8:00 am with morning band, practicing and perfecting their skills.

Many will hurry to the band hall after their bus arrives to squeeze in some practice time. We have created an inclusive environment for all students to succeed no matter their ethnicity, socio-economic status, or religious beliefs. Every Student Means Every Student!

My Project

Our students are in need of step-up clarinet mouthpieces to help them as they prepare for All-State and District Honor Band auditions. Our students will utilize these mouthpieces to further develop characteristic tone quality on their instruments. The mouthpieces will also help enhance our clarinet choir, clarinet small ensembles, and those participating in Solo and Ensemble. Overall, the quality of the clarinet section will be directly impacted, which will play a critcal role in the overall large ensemble sound.

Clarinets are the heart and soul of the band!

By upgrading their mouthpieces, we will be providing students the opportunity to take their skills to the next level.
