The Highlander Band consists of students with advanced musical talents. This band performs in several concerts each year. They also perform in many regional Highland Games as well as in the City of Dunedin Military Tattoo. The Highlander Band has performed at the home opener of the Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Team at Spring Training. This band toured Washington, D.C. in 1995, 1997, and 2001 and also toured New York City in 1999, Atlanta, GA 2003. Our next trip is planned for Orlando, FL 2005.

The Cadet Band is composed of students who are generally in their second year of playing an instrument. Some students begin the year in the Beginning Band and progress quickly enough that they are invited to join the Cadet Band in mid year. These skills are developed even further and more advanced skills are mastered. This can be seen in the difficulty of the music they play at the concerts.

The Beginning Band is designed to introduce students with little or no musical background to the world of music. The students are then matched to instruments and there the journey begins. They are taught to read music and play the instruments. After developing basic skills they begin to learn concert pieces. Before long they are ready to play in the Holiday Concert in December.
