Never played before?
Start here.

Concert Band, Concert Percussion, and the Marching Huskies take every student with no audition, including complete beginners. Hamilton never cuts anyone from the band program.

Upper groups place by audition later. Until then, you learn next to state champions from a staff of twelve.
