Shaping Kid’s Futures Today
Our high-impact band program helps young students recognize the “Gifts” given to them by the Holy Spirit, builds desirable character traits, and prepares them for their future personal growth journey.
Playing Music Changes Everything
Playing an instrument gives kids the unique opportunity to directly experience their improvements and success. It teaches children how to learn in a different way and is a valuable asset to a child’s learning experience.
In the Band Room
Band students learn about playing an instrument and reading music, and achieve high levels of self-discipline, focus, and confidence.
In the Classroom
The excellence and dedication expectations set in the band room carry over into the classroom. Students improve their academic skills and have a positive effect on others.
In the Community
The positive experience and activities realized help students become better human beings. Our school, parish and local communities benefit greatly by the unique opportunity we have with our program.
“Being a member of the band at St. Joseph-Cottleville was a formative experience that greatly shaped the trajectory of my educational career and personal development.”
Representing St. Joseph
For over 35 years, our band members have proudly represented our school, parish, and the local community.
