What is Band?

Message from the director:

As the director of the Clarksville High Band for the last 25 years, I have had the privilege to mentor and teach thousands of young people. Their personal stories are powerful and will touch thousands of others as they live their lives. I keep one thing in mind each day as I work to provide our students with the best possible instruction and experience possible....."A hundred years from now...it will not matter how much money I made, what kind of car I drove, or the size of the house I lived in, but maybe the world will be a better place because I was important in the life of a child." Be a part of the music....be a part of the Clarksville Wildcats and a century of tradition. It's fun to work hard to be "good". We want to train young people to be successful. Music is our tool. Join us!!
