Welcome to the Home of the Bands of Veterans!

As one of the finest bands in middle Georgia, the Veterans Instrumental Music Department serves over 200 talented high school musicians. Located in Kathleen, Georgia the band program consists of three concert bands, percussion ensembles, jazz band, flute ensembles and the award winning Warhawk Squadron. 

We have a dedicated staff that guides and encourages our amazing students both during and after school. Our expectations are high, and our students and staff always rise to the occasion. Our supportive parent community and the Veterans Band Boosters help raise funds that support our efforts, making it possible for us to continue to provide an excellent band experience for all.  Our students truly exemplify the Veterans High School Motto, "Excellence is the Standard, not the Goal."

Personal Note from Fermin

I very much look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.  My goal is to keep Zoom sessions light and relaxed.  I want band to be a place students can decompress and commiserate with their peers. Attendance will be taken! While music is our discipline, I believe many of students enjoy band for the social aspect and want to create a positive digital environment with that in mind. 

THIS WEEK: April 6th - April 10th
