Mission
The goal of our effort is that we, the Directors, are striving to mold young students into successful, productive adults; teaching them that through determination, diligent effort, commitment to a team and discipline that each member can achieve any task that they pursue; to teach our youth how to play an instrument well enough to enable them to perform with high schools, colleges and civic organizations if they so desire, or even become professionals in the field of music. We teach & believe that true pride is a byproduct of effort, not assumed because of affiliation, but self-bestowed after struggle and strife have produced success; that “fun” in band is not meaningless folly, but interaction with peers and leaders in the process of pursuing excellence. We want our students to apply these skills to the trials that they will encounter in the road that lies ahead of them; to be able to step easier through life because of what they have done in band.
