Band Program Philosophy
The band program at Cass School District 63 offers students the opportunity to actively participate and experience the creating, performing, responding to, and connecting to music. Students will be exposed to the highest quality of music that is available to them at their ability level. Students will be participating in a student-centered environment where the focus is on their music education experiences, their growth as musicians, and as valued members of the band program.
The primary goals of the Cass District 63 Band Program are:
(1) To offer students the opportunity to learn about and perform the highest quality of music available;
(2) To facilitate and cultivate an environment of appreciation for all types of music through listening and performance;
(3) To provide each student the opportunity to perform in a meaningful, expressive manner in a variety of experiences;
(4) To provide a challenging, yet attainable expectation for all students individually as well as a team;
(5) To work with each individual student and as a group to develop and maintain a steady work habit in order to achieve long term and short term goals that the students have set for themselves;
(6) To give students a greater understanding of musical elements across a vast genre of music
