ABOUT US: The West Aurora High School Department of Bands has a long and distinguished history of performance excellence. In fact, last year we celebrated our Centennial, a special milestone that very few programs in the country can boast. Our program features seven concert ensembles, five jazz bands, the renowned Blackhawk Marching Band, and the Blackhawk Basketball Pep Bands. The performance-based classes and ensembles in our program feature unique content that offers unparalleled aesthetic experiences, rigorous performance demands, and are worthy of academic study. Participation in these courses and extra-curricular ensembles is the best and most direct way to experience the art of music-making, one that will assist students in developing a greater understanding of themselves and humanity.
