• BAND

    The Carl Junction High School Band is a performance-based class. There are numerous commitments outside the school day and all dates will be published on the band calendar by the end of the previous school year. In the fall, band camp occurs before the semester begins and is a requirement. Any student not at the summer band camp runs the risk of not having a drill spot in the competitive marching show. Marching band rehearses at 7:00 am daily through our last marching competition and performs for home football games and in area marching festivals. Starting in November, the band performs as a concert band. Based on the number of students, two or more concert bands might be available. Activities include winter and spring concerts, various festival performances, district and state music festivals, and all-district and all-state honor band opportunities. The concert bands will rehearse primarily during class time with some extracurricular commitments. (One-credit, one-year fine arts elective for grades 9-12.) Prerequisite: Students not currently enrolled in Band need director’s permission before enrolling for the next year. This course may be repeated for credit. There will be fees for this course however we can work around financial hardship—see the band director for additional information. Students that are academically ineligible one or more semesters according to MSHSAA academic eligibility guidelines may be reviewed for possible removal from the course.
