Fifty years, one album at a time.

Where They Are Now
Alumni spotlights
Class of ’01Jessica (Toenjes) Allen
Band, for me, was the best combination of everything that made me, ME: music, community, leadership, challenge, fun, and a place to belong. I loved being part of something bigger than myself, sharing incredible experiences with great people, and learning from wise teachers and peer leaders.

Alumni keep the tradition funded.
The boosters fund what the school budget can’t, from instruments and travel to private master-class instruction. Alumni gifts, at any level, put today’s students on the field and maximize their opportunities.
