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."

Class Band:
We have made it to the last full week of the school year! A big congratulations to the Class of 2023, as well as to the rest of our students for making it to the end!
This week, during class, we will be sight-reading for the first part of the week, and will also begin the process of checking in school-owned instruments. We will let the students know when the last day instruments are needed will be, so please be ready to take your personal items home for the Summer!
A huge congrats to all of our Band Students for an outstanding Spring Concert performance last Tuesday! We had a PACKED HOUSE and it such a joy to play for so many supportive members of our Band Family and Community! Please make plans to join us for future performances next school year!
It has been a great school year for the Bands of Veterans, and we hope you all have a wonderful and safe Summer Break!
