The El Segundo High School Band's purpose is to provide an opportunity to learn, rehearse and perform music for all interested students who demonstrate the desire, ability, and proper attitude. Students in the band learn self-discipline, emotional control during times of stress, coping skills and how to accept success with humility. Each year the 55 to 65 person band includes some of the highest ranking students of the school including valedictorians, salutatorians and “top ten.”
