The Jasper Band Program gives over 300 students in grades 6 - 12 the chance to learn, grow, and perform as both musicians and leaders. From Friday night halftime shows to formal concert halls, our students work year-round to represent our school and community with pride.
Our tradition of excellence is proven through decades of achievements that make our program stand out:
Marching Band – 41-time state finalist, including 34 consecutive appearances, with 3 state championships and 4 runner-up finishes
Symphonic Band – 25-time state finalist in a highly competitive, classless contest (top 16 programs in the state, regardless of school size), earning 2 top 5 placements and 6 additional top 8 finishes
Jazz Band – 1x State finalist
Winter Guard – 37-time State Color Guard Association State Finalist
Individual Musicians – Students consistently excel in both district and state solo and ensemble contests and are selected for district, regional, and state honor bands
This October, we're launching a new fundraiser: Play It Forward - a direct donation drive to keep our band program strong and thriving. While we do receive some support from the school system, we rely primarily on community fundraising to ensure all students can participate and to sustain a program that consistently ranks among the top in the state.
Your donation doesn't just support music - it supports confidence, teamwork, discipline, and lifelong skills that extend far beyond the band room. Together, we can ensure the Jasper Band program continues to thrive for years to come!
