Band
Creating a Culture of Musical Excellence through Pride, Vision, Innovation and Christian Values
Our Program
The GCCS Band Program strives to create strong, independent, disciplined band members in an environment that is both enjoyable and educationally sound. Our program is designed to help students gain a feeling of accomplishment through personal effort, experience a spirit of cooperation through group participation, and provide an outlet for creative expression, while mastering technical execution on their given instrument.
Students in 5th-12th grade have the opportunity to participate in band. Throughout their time in the band program, students will have many performance opportunities. The GCCS Band Program is proud to offer students a traditional band experience within the Christian school setting complete with concert and marching band and jazz ensembles that perform on a regular basis.
Grades 5-6 Bands
Our beginning band students focus on the fundamentals of musicianship through exploring instruments to help choose which one is the best fit. Our intermediate students put on two concerts per year where they showcase all that they have learned during the year.
Middle & High School
Our Middle and High School students have many performance opportunities throughout the year at our concerts, Night of Fine Arts, competitions, and other community events. Our upper bands also have the opportunity to go on school trips and represent our band outside of Central Ohio. We have a competitive band program that regularly receives high ratings at OMEA events.
Marching Band
Our marching band is made up of 7th-12th grade students and competes in both OMEA and MSBA circuits. The Pride of the Eagles has qualified for State Finals twice and MSBA Class Finals four times.
Jazz Band
Our Middle and High School students have the option to join Jazz Band which meets during the school day. We perform at all of the main concerts at the school and get to represent our school in different environments.
