We as a faculty aim to cultivate our students into better people as well as band members. We have created an acronym (S.T.O.R.M.) that we like to use that helps demonstrate some key values we feel are necessary to establish a sense of pride and humanity in our members.

 

Spirit – Excitement, Enthusiasm, Desire, Pride, and Self-Motivation.

 

Trust – Reliability, Responsibility, Strength, Dependability, and Truth to your words.

 

Opportunity – Curiosity, Enthusiasm, Desire, Service, and Sacrifice to your growth as a person and as a musician. 

 

Respect - Courtesy, Appreciation, Self-Control, Discipline, and Etiquette.

 

Musicianship – Dedication, Discipline, Commitment, and Artistry to your musical instrument.
