More Than Music

Participation in band challenges students to work toward a common goal, manage their time, support one another, and perform with excellence. The program is built on teamwork, commitment, school pride, and a shared love of music.

HCHS Band Programs

Concert Bands

Students participate in curricular concert ensembles during the school day and receive academic credit. Ensemble placement may be based on grade level, instrumentation, director recommendation, or audition.

Marching Band

The Sound of the County Marching Band is an extracurricular ensemble that rehearses after school and performs at football games, community events, exhibitions, and marching competitions during the fall.

Colorguard

Colorguard is the visual section of the marching band. Members use flags, dance, movement, and other visual equipment to bring the marching production to life.

Percussion

Percussion students may participate in the marching battery, front ensemble, concert percussion, and other percussion activities throughout the year.

Indoor Percussion

Indoor percussion is a competitive winter and spring activity combining percussion performance, movement, staging, and theatrical design.

Additional Opportunities

Additional ensembles and performance opportunities may be offered based on student interest, staffing, instrumentation, and the school-year schedule.
