Air Academy High School has had a band program since its opening in 1957.
Beginning with less than 20 members, the Air Academy band program has grown into one of the most respected in the state of Colorado.
Air Academy’s marching band has been a CBA State Finalist every year since 1989 and has been awarded as Colorado State Champions 10 times within the last two decades!
Following the conclusion of marching band season, Air Academy offers students the opportunity to participate in two different auditioned concert bands: Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band. Air Academy’s concert bands consistently receive high ratings, including multiple Superior with Distinction ratings from the CBA State Concert Band Festival.
Air Academy also offers several jazz classes, including the Advanced Jazz Ensemble which has been selected multiple times to be showcased at the Colorado Music Educator’s Association Conference. All jazz ensembles consistently receive Superior ratings.
State-winning Winter Guard and Color Guard programs are also hosted by Air Academy Bands, as well as a Winter Percussion Ensemble.
