Welcome Band Students and Parents
Welcome back to school for what should be a really exciting year for the Chapman High School Band! I’m very honored and thrilled to continue our growth as a strong band program with a rich tradition, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with and get to know our student musicians, families, and community.
To those of you who are new to the Chapman Band Department, I look forward to your active participation in one of the most dynamic and rewarding experiences at Chapman High School. You are the future of the band program at Chapman. I encourage you and your family to become involved. Band is an activity that takes determination, but the rewards are worth that effort.
Music is an essential part of a comprehensive education. Students will have the opportunity to grow musically as a group and also as individuals. The Chapman High School Band Program will work to provide all members a well-rounded and quality music education through opportunities like Marching Band, Pep Band, Audio Tech and Concert Band. Band members will be expected to put forth the effort, dedication, and maturity required to create excellence in themselves and the ensembles in which they perform.
Through collaboration, discipline, and hard work, the excellence of the Chapman High School Band program will continue. Ultimately, students will be empowered to become lifelong musicians in various capacities, whether as professionals, consumers, or in service to others.
I look forward to working with you as we continue to pursue musical and personal excellence.
Go Irish!
