Stevenson Bands


All band members perform in three major concerts during the school year. All 5 bands (350+ members) combine with the Color Guard to perform as the Marching Patriots, presenting pre-game and half-time shows at Varsity Football games. The members of the bands also perform as the Pep Bands at Varsity Basketball games. Band students also participate in a chamber recital, a consortium-wide band festival and a host of other field trips and community performance opportunities throughout the year.

The main emphasis for the band program is the development of total musicianship through the study, preparation and performance of quality concert band music and an authentic understanding of the language of music through a sequential curriculum of music theory topics.

The Stevenson High School Band Program is comprised of five bands: 
Freshman Band 
Concert Band 
Symphonic Band 
Advanced Symphonic Band
Honor Band
 
Band members extend their musical activities through participation in Jazz Band, Symphony Orchestra, the Orchestra for the annual Musical, Solo & Ensemble Contests, chamber music performances, private lessons, competitive auditions and community ensembles.
 
The bands are directed by:
