Band
Our Program
The St. Hilary Band Program strives to provide students with the opportunity to further their musical growth through the means of learning an instrument. The band program is a co-curricular program that allows students in 4th-8th grade build off the content they learn in music class. Instruments offered are flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and percussion.
