Welcome

Welcome to the homepage for our Black Knights Music Program! Here you will find a plethora of up to date information regarding all of our music programs, fundraising events, upcoming events and more! The Stamford High School Music Program is a comprehensive music institution that includes a marching, jazz and concert band as well as a nationally ranked percussion ensemble. Music enables all students to discover and develop their artistic potential through listening, performing, analyzing, moving and creating. We believe music incorporates understanding from all disciplines and leads to an improved self-concept, a broader cultural awareness and a development of life-long skills.
