Mission Statement of the Niceville Band:
“The American Bandmasters Association states the goal of all school band programs should be to ‘grace it’s participants with the ideals and sensitivities that are vital to the human existence and progress.’ The Niceville High School Band program has, at its core, the mission of providing a safe and wholesome place for students to enrich their intellectual, emotional, and artistic needs. Attributes that are crucial to becoming a ‘whole’ person and a contributing member of our community. If these goals are achieved, the program will create educated consumers of music and the Fine Arts – what should be the ultimate goal in any music classroom.”
