The Eisenhower Middle School Band Program has a long-standing tradition of excellence. Our goal is to provide students with the highest quality music education, and the community with great musical performances.  Music is a form of expression that exists in all cultures and a high quality music education is an important part of developing well-rounded citizens and stewards of the arts for generations to come.  While music is our primary focus, the students in our program also develop a strong work ethic, learn the importance of working together, and are expected to demonstrate outstanding citizenship. 

The EMS Band program is comprised of 7 ensembles including Beginning Band, Cadet Band, Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Jazz Band II, Jazz Band I, and our electric string ensemble, “General Electric.”
