the blaine high school band program

The investment of time, effort, and energy into the study of music will produce lifelong dividends. Music and the arts are vital components in the growth of every student. In fact, extended studies shows that the very process of music making develops the artistic mind and brings forth the creative potential in all young people. 

We offer a performance based, comprehensive musical experience for students in grades 9–12. Co-curricular activities are considered an extension and an enrichment of the classroom experience. The Blaine High School Band Program seeks to provide opportunities for each student to:

• participate in large ensemble performance experiences.

• foster and develop a life-long appreciation and understanding of music as a means of expression and communication.

• create, analyze, perform, and listen using a wide variety of musical styles and performance mediums.

• develop their individual musical potential.

• develop a positive self-image and a genuine love of music through performance   and classroom experiences.

• participate in co-curricular opportunities to further develop their skills.

Music excellence is its own reward, and we do everything we can to create that excellence in the classroom, on stage, on the field, or in the bleachers.
