AUBURN HIGH SCHOOL HONORS BAND
One tenet of the Auburn City Schools’ philosophy is that learning takes place best in an organized, comprehensive curriculum. A major goal of the school system is to provide each student the opportunity to learn, to develop personally, and to experience success. The Auburn City School System houses its 7000+ students on ten separate campuses. Each campus has a at least one music and one art teacher. Auburn band students begin instrumental instruction in the seventh grade. Upon arrival at Auburn High School as tenth graders, band students are placed into one of two performing ensembles. This assignment is made by the use of an audition which is taken during the spring of the previous year. Band students at Auburn High School meets for class every other day during a blocked 96 minute class. The 2012-2013 AHS Band enrollment is 160 students. Marching Band at Auburn High School is an extra-curricula activity. The marching band is a voluntary organization and meets for a total of three and one half hours outside of school time weekly. Directors for the Auburn City School bands are: Deanna Marshall, J.F. Drake Middle School; Joshua Wine, Auburn Junior High School and Rusty Logan, Auburn High School. Auburn High School is lead by Principal Dr. Todd Freeman and the Auburn City Schools Superintendent is Dr. Karen T. DeLano.
