Band
DC Music Academy Outreach Band Program provides an opportunity for students to learn band instruments and improve their individual musical skills and ensemble skills while having a great quality time making music together with school friends. Students develop a sense of artistry, musicianship, and discipline through musical preparation and performance. The school year-long Band Program concludes with a memorable trip and a performance at one of the amusement parks such as Busch Gardens or Hershey Park.
