All band program parents/guardians are welcome!
The GJHS Booster Club recently approved a request from the band for another trailer. With another large increase in participants and additional needed musical instruments & props for this season, we quickly realized that we needed another large trailer. The GJHS Booster Club came through for us!
Please consider supporting the GJHS Booster Club
Who are the Band Parents?
GJHS Band Parents is a supportive group of parents, guardians, friends and family members of students involved in any of the music programs or color guard. Led by an executive board, the group includes dedicated volunteers who assist with the band's needs in a variety of ways throughout the year.
Message from the Director
WELCOME to one of the most exciting experiences you can participate in – THE BAND! Now, more than ever, we have information to justify why we do this demanding yet rewarding activity. Experts have concluded that studying music helps with spatial reasoning, test taking, and overall quality of life! Factor in social skills, emotional development, leadership training, group interaction, aesthetic perception, music making, and the discipline of being in a band program, and I don’t know why anyone would not want to be involved in a successful band program like the one here at Grand Junction High School! The ultimate goal is a lifelong understanding and appreciation for quality music and music-making!
Isaac Lavadie - GJHS Director of Bands
Recently the GJHS Winter Guard squad completed an incredible season by taking 4th place at the State Competition!
Kudos to the entire team and staff.
