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 four 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:
LGPE is almost here!

 

Our students have been working extremely hard as we prepare for our final performance at the GMEA District 11 LGPE next week at Houston County High School! Performance times have been discussed in class with your student at length, and will also be included here:

 

5th Period Concert Band: Saturday, March 16, 11:30am

4th Period Symphonic Band: Thursday, March 14, 1:00pm

6th Period Wind Symphony, Saturday, March 16, 1:00pm

3rd Period Wind Ensemble, Thursday, March 14, 6:30pm

 

Just like all of our concerts, these performances are required. Since these are the only adjudicated concerts we have all year, we ask that these performances take precedence over any other event happening at that time. All of this has been discussed with students at great length during class time.

 

Please continue to keep up with playing tests in class or via Google Classroom! Grades will be updated regularly to reflect any recent playing assignments.

​

Marching Band:

Last month we sent out a schedule for marching band Spring Training, as well as Band Camp 2024. Please take a look at those document and input those dates into your calendar if you have not done so already! All of those dates are absolutely mandatory.

 

We also have started the Leadership Application process! Please see Mrs. Griffin to get a leadership packet for all interested students.

 

Please make sure your calendar is updated with Spring Training/Audition dates in April, as that will be here before we know it!
