The Owasso Band Program Students begin their band training in the sixth grade at Owasso Sixth Grade Center. They meet each day for fifty minutes in one of the five homogenous instrument classes. Emphasis is placed on fundamental learning and rehearsal discipline. All Band students are combined at the end of the school year for their first performance as a band. After the first year of instruction, students are combined into the Seventh Grade Band followed by the Eighth Grade Band, both of which are performing, concert, and contest-oriented ensembles.
Continued emphasis is placed on playing fundamentals.
High School Band members are placed in one of three concert bands. All groups strive for a high degree of technical proficiency and ensemble skill. Over the past ten years the concert bands have participated in contests in Chicago, Washington, D.C., Orlando, St. Louis, Houston, and Atlanta. The high school concert bands were recently presented the Sudler Flag of Honor by the John Philip Sousa Foundation. Owasso High School is one of only two bands in Oklahoma to have received the honor.
