The Decatur High School Band is excited for our 2026-27 school year! Band creates lifelong friendships, encourages teamwork, teaches persistence, all while producing amazing music. It's literally the best part of many student's day!   

Over 80% of our yearly operating expenses come from the Decatur Band Parent Association, a 501c3 organization.
