The District 55 Junior High School Band Program provides students with a solid foundation in the Arts. Instruction is offered in grades 6 - 8. Outstanding ensembles and individual performers are consistently produced that represent our community on the local and state level. Beginner Band members rehearse in small classes daily.
Emphasis is placed on the fundamentals of reading music and playing an instrument.
The Advanced Band builds on the foundation established in the first year of instruction with concentration on performance techniques. The HT Band has a history of success since the days of Hickory Tavern High School. Members have also been successful in gaining individual honors through All-State Band and the Solo and Ensemble Festival. Andrew Entrekin, David Mauldin, Paul Moss, and Bradd Parton.
