The 2025-26 GPHS Band Handbook is now available on our website!

Please take some time to review the Band Handbook. Students will need to turn in their commitment contracts to Mr. Morris.

Band Fees This Year:

Pays for field trips and other costs associated with performance travel. Rather than ask for fees one at a time, we’ve calculated the total cost to members for a one-time fee. The cost to members of Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Percussion Ensemble and Jazz Bands is $30. Wind Ensemble fees are $90.
