St. Joseph has a strong tradition of excellence. Sharp marching bands, accomplished concert musicians...all of this starts at the Middle School. The Upton Bands are led by Mr. Josh Doe and Mrs. Rachel Cabanilla-Sinnett.
Students perform many times throughout the year at concerts, state and local festivals, and in combination with the high school bands. They also have the benefit of learning with several artists in residence each year.
For any questions regarding band, please contact Josh Doe at [email protected] or Rachel Cabanilla-Sinnett at [email protected].
