School Band

Students can discover the joy of creating music by joining the St. Denis-St. Columba School Band.  Under the direction of Mr. Bellino and Mr. Cuccia, beginning and experienced students can learn to play a wide array of instruments including clarinet, flute, oboe, saxophone, trumpet, violin and percussion.  Our band lessons conveniently take place at school, so there is no need to travel to music lessons!

As our young musicians gain mastery of their instruments, they are invited to perform with the band at the SDSC Christmas and Spring Concerts. 

THE SDSC band program is offered through Paul Effman Music Service.  For more information, please visit www.pemusic.com.
