Through band, boys learn to listen, collaborate, and lead, developing discipline and resilience that serve them in every aspect of life.
Students begin their musical education by selecting an instrument and learning musical notation, technical instruction, and simple music theory. In intermediate courses, students continue to work on all major scales and sight reading. In Upper School, band students also have the chance to perform at home varsity football games and school pep rallies.
Band and orchestra students perform regularly in concerts, in addition to providing music at some all-school convocations and assemblies. Each year, Marksmen compete and earn seats in various ensembles, including the Texas Private School Music Educators Association, Texas Music Educators Association and the Association of Texas Small School Bands.
