Instrumental instruction begins in the fifth grade bands at Solorio Elementary School, East Heritage Elementary School, and West Heritage Elementary School. The band program at Heritage Intermediate School includes an eighth grade Hawk Band, a seventh grade Symphonic Band, and a sixth grade Concert Band. Many students from Heritage have continued their musical studies in the award-winning music program at Etiwanda High School. During the 23-24 school year, we had 4 students make the SBCMEA Honor band! In addition, the Hawk Band received Excellents for their performance at the SCSBOA Band Festival and Excellent for their Sight-reading portion.
The goal of the band program at Heritage Intermediate School is to develop outstanding musicians who create, collaborate, and dedicate time and perseverance to have the skills necessary to be successful in music and in life.
