About Us

The Paris High School band program has a long and rich history of excellence dating back to A. Austin Harding.  The PHS band department strives to provide every student with an opportunity to gain musical proficiency and a truly aesthetic satisfaction of music, so that they may better understand, enjoy, and participate in musical activities for the rest of their lives. With a focus on continual self-improvement, students cultivate the skills necessary for the development and success of themselves and the group. In addition, the PHS band department strives to serve our school and community as a role model of outstanding dedication and character.
