Walton High School Band

 

Dickerson Band is a feeder program for the Walton High School Band. The Walton Band programs consists of both Marching and Concert Bands. The Marching Band plays at all football games in the fall as well as competing in several competitions. During the Fall 2006 season, the Walton Band had the honor of being asked to participate in the National Bands of America competition in Indianapolis, IN. Marching Band requires a lot of dedication, but also provides a tremendous amount of fun! Just ask any current member about not only the football games, but also Rock-A-Thon and Cosmic Bowling!

The Concert Bands consist of 4 bands - Concert I, Concert II, Symphonic I, and Symphonic II. In addition to these bands, students may participate in any of the numerous optional bands and ensembles such as the percussion ensemble, the jazz band (I and II), and the woodwind quintet.

Statistics indicate that if a student participates in music, he or she is likely to earn higher grades and score better on standardized tests.  Now there is powerful evidence of a cause and effect link between music instruction and intelligence! There are dozens of recent studies that indicate that being involved in musical activities is a key component of academic success.  The Walton High School Band provides an excellent opportunity for your child to enjoy the benefits that making music can bring.

Playing an instrument can be a very rewarding and fulfilling experience.  Besides the musical opportunities, being in band allows students to develop friendships, travel, and develop very important life skills.  Being in band also means being a part of one of the largest organizations on campus at Walton.

Please see the Walton Band website for more information about the program.
