PELHAM HIGH SCHOOL WIND ENSEMBLE
The Pelham High School Wind Ensemble is the premier instrumental performing group at Pelham. The group is one of three concert ensembles and is made up of seventy- seven musicians in grades ten through twelve who earn and keep their positions within the group
through a series of yearly class evaluations. Individual performance is stressed in the Wind Ensemble which is evidenced by the number of students who audition for and are chosen for various university honor bands, district and county honor bands and all- state. While travel and competition are huge motivators to the students in the group, they continue to be focused on upholding the rich tradition of musical performance that is so much a part of the program. Each year, over half of the graduating members of Pelham’s Wind Ensemble go on to continue their music in college ensembles and Pelham currently has more than ten graduates pursuing music performance or music education as a career.
Jeff Burnside has been teaching band for twenty-five years, with the last fourteen years at Pelham High School. Prior to coming to Pelham, he taught in the Homewood City Schools as well as the Mobile County Schools. Jeff holds Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in music education from Auburn University. He is currently the Director of Bands at Pelham High School which has an instrumental music program that includes three concert bands, two jazz bands, marching band, and band techniques classes. His bands have excelled in all areas consistently receiving superior ratings at competitions and festivals. Jeff is the past treasurer of the Shelby County Band Director’s Association, a member of NAfME, ABA, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia and remains active as a trumpet player in the Birmingham area. Jeff’s wife Katy is also a teacher at Pelham High School and a member of Pelham’s band staff. Their two children are both active in music with their son Andrew a senior and member of the Wind Ensemble and daughter Kaitlyn who is pursuing a degree in Music Education at Auburn University.
