Students of Diverse Roots
About our band:
In the Burnett music program, we strive to encourage students of diverse roots to come together for a common goal: to make and enjoy music. Our commitment to this goal ensures that all members of Burnett concert bands, jazz band, and guitar program, no matter their skills or identity, are involved in our community. Not only do we encourage and assist in the development of musical skills, but also provide the opportunity to develop qualities such as leadership, responsibility and empathy. We introduce our students to new friendships, worldviews, and experiences, all of which contribute to making high school an enjoyable and memorable experience.
