Why Should I Join Band?

Band is awesome! We could explain why… but it’s much better hearing from actual students!

BEING IN BAND IS WORTH IT! 

It is a positive life changing experience. Palmetto High School has a very proud tradition of having a successful band program. Anytime I hear from past members they light up when talking about when they were in band. It becomes clear in the first few seconds that band was a highlight of their high school years.
