ACDS Band

ACS Band at Practice

The ACDS Band gives Elementary and Middle School students the chance to perform in concerts for the school and ACDS community, learning and extending their skills with coaching from professional musicians.

This before-school program gives children the opportunity to learn flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet or percussion.

There are two band programs available: ACDS Band and PEP Band.

For ACDS Band, there is no experience necessary, only a willingness to learn. ACDS Band meets two mornings a week.

PEP Band meets on Tuesday mornings and is for students who have more experience playing.

Come discover your rhythm with these enthusiastic groups!



“Band members have a special bond. A great band is more than just some people working together. It's like a highly specialized army unit, or a winning sports team. A unique combination of elements that becomes stronger together than apart.” — Steven Van Zandt
