With the emphasis on “Team Work,” the USJ Band program is all about making a difference in the lives of our students and community.
We have an expanded and active program, ranging from All-West Orchestra, Jazz, and Concert Band, to All-State, Solo & Ensemble, Honor Bands, musicals, and church ensembles for students to participate in. When you look closely, you will see USJ represented at every level.
Whether it is a Sixth Grade Beginner or an All-State Senior, we want to bring out the best in all of our students as we set our goals and realize our dreams. Helping each other succeed is what we are all about.
