Band Performance Groups

Kentwood Public Schools introduces students to formal instrumental music programs beginning in 6th grade. Each of our three middle schools offers band classes for students in grades six through eight.

As students progress into high school, they have the opportunity to participate in a variety of performance ensembles, including:

• Symphonic Wind Ensemble

• Symphonic Band

• Concert Band

• Freshman Band

• Falcon Marching Band (featuring students from all four concert bands)

• Jazz Ensemble I

• Jazz Ensemble II

These performance-based courses provide students with opportunities to learn and grow in a diverse music education setting. Students will develop musical knowledge and technique while fostering a lifelong appreciation for music. Music education supports overall academic growth and has a positive impact on emotional development and creativity. The performances, trips, and shared experiences in band often become some of the most memorable and lasting moments of a student’s high school years.
