With the concert bands at the core of the curriculum, students also have the opportunity to participate in a variety of extra-curricular ensembles offered through the department. These include a 220-member volunteer marching band, a very active chamber music program, a Symphony Orchestra, three jazz ensembles, two winterguard and a concert percussion ensemble. In addition, the band parents association sponsors an after-school private lesson program with an outstanding faculty of professional musicians.
