Concert Band

The JAHS Concert Band program is a strong and active instrumental music curriculum dedicated to supporting and representing JAHS. The Band program is comprised of students in grades 9-12 participating in Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced Band. Each level presents opportunities for public performances such as school concerts, church and civic club presentations. The Advanced Band performs at Winter and Spring Concerts, District and State Level concert competitions and numerous special performances. Students meet daily after marching season to prepare literature to be performed for the upcoming concerts. Time is taken during these rehearsals to advance each student’s ability level. Students individually compete for the Alabama All-State Band, Solo and Ensemble Festival, and various other honor bands throughout the Southeast.

Marching PatriotsThe JAHS Marching Band is comprised of students in grades 8-12. The Marching Band performs at various venues throughout the area and region. In 2008-2009 the “Marching Saints” made their international debut in the Lord Mayors’ New Year’s Day Parade in London, England. In 2014 they will perform, along with the Chamber Singers, in the New Year's Festivities of Frascati and Rome, Italy. The Marching Band meets daily to develop and improve all aspects of the field show. Students attend evening rehearsals during the summer (July) and a Band Camp during August to learn the music and field performance for the upcoming season.

The JAHS Band Parent Association
The JAHS Band Parent Association welcomes all parents of band members! The purpose of your Band Parent Association is to support, foster, cultivate active participation, and maintain the JAHS's Band. We actively assist in supplementing the financial support provided to the band by St. Paul's School, particularly with respect to equipment and special needs for which funding may not otherwise be available. All parents and legal guardians of band members are invited to Band Parent Association meetings and are considered voting members of the Association.
