The Bands at Ypsilanti Community High School consist of the Marching Band, Jazz Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Symphony. The groups perform at many different events throughout the year, including football games, winter and spring concerts, MSBOA Festivals, and travel to perform at festivals throughout the country.


The key to the mystery of a great artist is that for reasons unknown, he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure that one note follows another... and leaves us with the feeling that something is right in the world.
— Leonard Bernstein
