The overall goal of our school's band program is to provide our students with skills and experiences that will serve them a lifetime. Most of our students will not become professional musicians. They will however be able to use the skills learned through making music in most of life's endeavors! We emphasize professionalism, musicianship, sectionals/lessons, and applying music skills.

Learning Goals for the AHS Band Program:

  1. Professionalism - This means to understand and use the skills of professionalism i.e. participating in class, working hard in class each day and being able to successfully work with others.
  2. Musicianship - This means to understand and use the skills of music performance. Each student will be assessed through the performance of a variety of music.
  3. Sectionals/Lessons - This means to understand and execute the number of sectionals and lessons required each quarter.
  4. Application of Music Skills - This means how often and how well each student uses the art skills that they are learning for community service. Each student keeps a record of their performances.
