Students of various ability levels, performance

common purpose. Our performances, audience
response, and awards show we are successful in
our efforts to bring this diverse group together.
We rehearse throughout the school year to
achieve ultimate performance ability. Many of
our performances are judged. We also strive to
broaden the perspective of our students to
different aspects of life through music.
The CHS Band Program is evaluated by student
attendance and judges' scores for field shows,
drumline competitions, winterguard competitions,
jazz band competitions, and concert band
festivals where ratings are rewarded.
Every high school student is required to have one
course of fine arts as a graduation requirement.
The band programs satisfy that criteria, and most
participants exceed the minimum number of
required hours in this category.
The Carlsbad High School Band Program is
comprised of over 100 students who perform in
the CHS Marching Lancers & Color Guard, CHS
Concert Band, CHS Wind Ensemble, CHS
