The Bands of Concord Academy

The Bands of Concord Academy are an integral part of our Fine Arts program and are taught through scheduled classes during the regular school day. Students are introduced to instrumental music in fifth and sixth grade through Beginning Band, with opportunities to continue their musical growth in Intermediate Band during seventh and eighth grade and ultimately in our High School Band program.

In addition to our concert band program, students may begin participating in Marching Band as early as seventh grade, providing valuable performance experience and opportunities to develop leadership, teamwork, and musicianship alongside high school students.

At Concord Academy, we believe that a comprehensive music education extends far beyond learning to play an instrument. Students are exposed to a wide variety of musical concepts, including music literacy, performance techniques, music history, theory, ensemble skills, and artistic expression, helping them develop both as musicians and well-rounded individuals
