Alumni

Graduates of the East Surry Bands have gone on to attend a variety of universities with majors in all areas of study. While students are often told that they can't do band and study other subjects or attend certain schools, our recent alumni have proven otherwise.

We don't expect most of our students to become music majors, but we are incredibly proud of the number of students who have chosen to study and have a career in music!
