Providing a well-rounded music education since 1972, Heritage Bands boasts three concert bands, two jazz bands, marching band, pep band, and pit orchestra.  There are a number of student-directed groups including the Trombone Choir and Flute Ensemble.

Our web pages have been viewed by visitors across the United States as well as internationally, by viewers in China, Australia, Greece, Germany, Great Britain, and Canada.

Check out the links for each ensemble!  There are video clips, audio files, and the new Heritage Bands Podcast, available for viewing, listening, and downloading right from our web page.  Enjoy your visit!

The part of the brain responsible for planning, foresight, and coordination is substantially larger for instrumental musicians than for the general public.

Great suggestion from one of my newbies to post the titles of the books I would like picked up for each concert band student.  I added some other stuff too, in order that this might be more comprehensive.  The band's version of the famed "School Supplies List."  Please let me know if you don't know where to get any of the following items:

• Book: "Foundations for Superior Performance," by Williams & King
  
• Book: "Bach and Before for Band," by David Newell
  
• Pencils (no pens) for marking music and completing written work
  
• An open mind and a willingness to try
