About HHS Band
With more than 100 students participating each year, the Hockinson High School Band is one of the largest and most active student organizations on campus. Approximately one in six Hockinson High School students chooses to be part of our comprehensive instrumental music program, which includes Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Jazz Band, Percussion Ensemble, Pep Band, and Marching Band. Our students are exceptionally well-rounded, participating not only in band, but also in varsity athletics, ASB, drama, clubs, and rigorous academic programs such as Advanced Placement, College in the High School, Running Start, and world languages. At Hockinson, we believe students should never have to choose between band and their other passions. We believe the most successful students are often those who are engaged in many pursuits, and we are committed to helping them thrive in all of them.
We are committed to providing a student-centered program where musical excellence, individual growth, and the development of character are equally valued. We believe music is both an academic discipline and a powerful form of personal expression. Through challenging repertoire, meaningful performances, and a culture of high expectations, students develop not only as musicians, but also as leaders, teammates, problem-solvers, and compassionate individuals. We strive to create an environment that is welcoming, supportive, and challenging, where every student is encouraged to discover their strengths, pursue their highest potential, and develop a lifelong appreciation for music and the arts.
Throughout the year, Hockinson bands perform at concerts, athletic events, festivals, parades, community celebrations, and educational tours across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. The program has earned a reputation for musical excellence through consistent superior performances and has been recognized with numerous honors, including Outstanding Instrumental Music Program awards, regional festival championships, and Sweepstakes honors at the Portland Rose Festival Grand Floral Starlight Parade. Students also regularly earn selection to regional and state honor ensembles and participate in solo and ensemble competitions, reflecting the depth, dedication, and excellence of the program.
The success of the Hockinson High School Band is made possible through the dedication of our students, the partnership of our families, alumni, and the unwavering support of the Hockinson Music Boosters. Together, we create meaningful musical experiences that inspire excellence, strengthen our community, and prepare students to make a positive impact wherever life leads them.
