The Eagan High School Band Program is comprised of three band directors and roughly 330 EHS students and provides a wide variety of instrumental opportunities. Learning music, and learning about music, shares beauty with our students, prepares them for their future endeavors beyond EHS, and offers them opportunity for challenge, growth, and achievement. Although it may seem as though we are simply completing one performance and then preparing for the next, there is a much greater educational agenda being shared every day in the rehearsal room.

There are many social enrichment benefits and the development of life skills learned by all of our band members, but these are in addition to the foundation of the program's fundamental priority: music education.īeing in band means many things for students. Parents, families, friends and the community are given the opportunity to see this on display through our performances at concerts and various school events. Undefined The focus of our curricular program is on comprehensive musicianship – the development of musical perception, aesthetic sensitivity, and technical mastery.
