About Bayside Band

 

 

Welcome to the Bayside Intermediate Band program! We believe that creativity lives within us all, and the language of music serves as the perfect vehicle for this journey in personal growth and the development of self-knowledge, communication, and self-expression. The study and performance of music is an imperative activity for students as it teaches self-discipline, time management, group cooperation, commitment, the responsibility to self and a group, and teamwork. In the Bayside Band Program, we wish to instill a strong sense of character, citizenship, and pursuit of excellence in every student. Our band culture will produce great performances which are the fruits of a considerable investment in preparation, hard work, and lessons learned from trial and error. Our goal as musicians is to enjoy new levels of success through hard work, perseverance, and determination. These skills will enable our students to become outstanding musicians and prepare them to become successful and productive young adults.
