This booklet is provided to all AMS band students so that they may be better informed of the expectations for all students enrolled in the program.

          The band program at the AMS campus is an important part of school life.  This group represents a large, colorful, visible, and highly disciplined segment of the school.

          Many of the activities and traditions of the school would seem dull without the band.  Band participation at pep rallies, concerts, and other events adds excitement to the Aledo community.

          The main emphasis of the band program is to teach musicianship and the pride of accomplishment; followed closely by citizenship, tradition, morale, spirit, and loyalty.  It is the pride of a job well done and the accomplishments achieved that make the sacrifices worthwhile.
