BACKGROUND & NEEDS Impact Statement Developing the student musician requires an environment that promotes leadership, integrity and musicianship. These traits are the guiding forces of the Braden River High School Band Program. Our goal is to foster a student's leadership and personal management skills and to have them learn what it truly means to be a servant leader and to help others. Holding students to high ethical standards and helping them to develop their moral compass ensures the highest integrity within the organization. Our vehicle to accomplishing this is music. We begin each day with the goal of cultivating a lifelong love of music. The Braden River Band Program is filled with tradition and accomplishments.
