THANKS TO OUR HARD WORKING/ AND SUPPORTIVE BAND BOOSTERS......
They have taken care of us in MANY ways. Paid for many things like part of the Band trip, the buses for the football season, provided opportunities such as the Band Family BBQ, Senior 3rd quarter banquet, ALL of the awesome food at the concession stand and the band barn, AND they have given us the wonderful May concert at LCCC's Stocker Center! Make sure and give them a big thank you!
What is Jazz n' Java?
Every year, the High School Jazz Band (also known as the Swingin' Blues) hosts the Swing City Big Band to give our young jazz students a few hours of training, then we head to the middle school stage and turn that APR into a coffee shop! Admission is free and you can purchase coffee and dessert by donation. Come hear a great night of Jazz!
A very special event for our Middle School Band!
On May 12th at Strongsville Middle School, Ms. Besand is taking our 8th grade band to their first large group adjudicated event in years! We are so excited for our future members of the Marching Blue!!!

Memorial Day Parades are coming up!
We are only weeks away from our Memorial Day parades and the biggest question is.. Do you know where your summer uniform is?
Fall FREE Physical details
For all who will march next season. You MUST have a physical turned in to the Athletic Director before the first game or you cannot march. Click HERE for details for a free physical!
Private Lessons
Private Lessons are essential for musicians. There are many times we hear "I wish I can sound like that". They sound that way because they take private lessons! Baldwin Wallace has an AMAZING music department with an OUTSTANDING private lessons program. We need to take full advantage of this opportunity! Click HERE for details!!!!
Time to start thinking about summer band camps!
There are a lot of summer opportunities for Band students. Baldwin Wallace, and Wooster have amazing camps to name a few. If interested in pursuing a summer musical event, talk to Mr. B!

Quick Question!!!
Click HERE to answer a few questions
Tri-M
What is Tri-M?
Tri-M is short for Modern Music Masters. It is an honors society for musicians. If you are interested in joining, you must be performing at the top of your ability regularly and always providing help for other students and directors. For more answers, ask Mr. B!
Your instrument needs an oil change and new tires!!!
Yes, you read that correctly. An instrument is very much like a car. Every 3,000 miles (one school year for brass, 1 marching season for woodwinds) your instrument needs a tune up. Take it to a music store for maintenance, so your instrument is ALWAYS in good working order.
Instrument Maintenance
HERE are some excellent videos on how to keep your instrument in good quality working order.
