About Spoto Bands

ABOUT SPOTO HIGH SCHOOL BANDS

The Spoto High School band program has a tradition of excellence. Our students develop a tremendous work ethic in order to carry on that tradition with each new school year. The band program continues to move in new directions in music-making. We look back on the past with respect, and we reach for the future with new goals and determination.

As it should be, our students' greatest musical growth and experiences come from the core of the Spoto Band program; the concert bands (2 classes) and the percussion techniques class. Each class requires a year-long commitment of great music-making. We believe in teaching our students to play well, to develop listening skills and sensitivity, to express themselves in music, but most importantly to be respectful, hard-working members of a “team” persevering together toward goals that we cannot reach alone.

Each Fall, every student has the exciting opportunity to participate in The Pride of Spoto Marching Band and experience the thrill of performing at competitions and weekly under the Friday Night Lights! Spoto Bands also offers multiple extra curricular enrichment opportunites such as: master classes, guest conductors, Chamber Music, leadership development, numerous Honor Bands and a Solo & Ensemble MPA.
