Some Frequently asked questions about Being In band
If I am in band, can I also play sports?
YES! The band directors and coaches work together to allow students to participate in both activities. You do not have to choose one or the other! As a matter of fact, we have had many former St. Amant High School Band members go on to successful college careers in sports all across the state.
If I am in band, can I also belong to other student clubs?
YES! In fact, most of the St. Amant Band students belong to a second, and sometimes third student club! We encourage involvement! If you can think of a club, organization, sports team, or extra-curricular activity on our campus, you will find a St. Amant High Band member participating. We have Gatorettes, cheerleaders, color guard members, ROTC cadets, athletes, and FFA members as members of our band. Band is class just like any other at St. Amant High.
Do I have to audition for the St. Amant Marching Band?
NO. Everyone is welcomed to participate in the marching band REGARDLESS OF YOUR PLAYING ABILITY. You will be placed in the band class for your ability level/instrument. Part assignments (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) will be determined during summer band practice.
I’m not sure whether I will like band or not. What should I do?
All students are encouraged to - at the very least – try band for the summer band practices. If you feel that you don’t like it, there is no obligation to stay in.
After marching season, what happens?
You will re-audition for the one of the band directors, and then be placed into one of our three concert bands. Each of these three groups goes to festival and contests in the spring!
Can I be in band all four years?
Yes! You only need 24 credits to graduate, and band does count as a fine arts, P.E. , and elective credits, all of which you need for graduation and TOPS. And since we are on a 4x4 block, you will get to take band all year while fulfilling requirements in other areas, allowing you to maximize your elective choices.
Will being in band have a NEGATIVE effect on my grades?
NO! As a matter of fact, most of the students in band are in the top of their classes, and almost every student makes an "A" in band class. Research has shown that the extra time you spend in band not only helps you build your musical skills, but also makes you smarter in math, science, and English!
Does the St. Amant Band take a trip in the spring?
Yes! Every year all of the bands at St. Amant take trips to District and State Festival! Many years, we also take large, out-of-state trips. In the past we have traveled to and performed in Italy, Scotland, Ireland, New York, Washington DC, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Mississippi. We encourage everyone to go on the band trips, and we do fundraisers to help offset the costs.
How can I get my other questions answered?
If you still have questions or concerns, please contact one of the band directors listed in the contact section, and they will be happy to find all of the answers you need.

SUMMER MARCHING BAND EXHIBITION
We will host our annual marching exhibition on Tuesday, August 5, 2025 at 7:00 PM in the St. Amant High Gold Dome.
At this time we will perform selections from our school songs, stands tunes, and we will also premiere our 2025 Marching Band Competition Show for our parents and supporters.
Everyone is invited to attend this yearly event that has grown into a truly special time to highlight the hard work of our students during band camp week.

uniform fitting
We will fit student for marching band uniforms during band camp this year. Fitting times will be during the lunch break starting on Monday July 28th with Seniors/Drumline. If you miss your designated time, you will be moved to the end of the list and may not get the best fit.
Every student will have the opportunity to take a professional photograph in uniform before one of the home football games later in the season.

Band Camp Schedule
It is important to make note of the band camp schedule and plan accordingly. The schedule for summer rehearsals has been set this year in hopes of having a large portion of the show learned before school starts. It is very important that everyone attends all scheduled practices during the summer.
Because of the amount of work involved and the expense of hiring a full staff for the summer, students who do not attend will be assigned the position of alternate for the competition show.
If for some reason a student cannot attend any summer rehearsals, the band department must be notified in advance so that arrangements can be made.
