We are a place that celebrates all that is learned in the arts - where "band" is used as a catch all for any large group arts activity such as marching band/drum corps, theater, orchestra, dance, drumline, color guard, and any other related disciplines.
We focus on the soft skills gained in the arts that can pave the way for future success. The skills one needs to be employable, to work with others, to manage relationships, or to excel at any craft, passion, or hobby.

Participation in the arts trains the whole human: multiple areas of the brain, numerous levels of physical coordination and muscular development, verbal and nonverbal communication, empathy, compassion, and many more of the “soft skills” one needs to be employable, to work with others, to manage relationships, or to excel at any craft, hobby, or passion.
HUMAN ADVANTAGE
Skills learned in the arts highlight uniquely human qualities that AI and automation can't replicate, making you more valuable.
