Welcome



The Cathedral City High School Bands consist of the Symphonic Band, the Jazz Band, the Percussion Ensemble, and the "Royal Regiment"---the CCHS Marching Band.

The 120-plus students who participate in the instrumental music program reflect every background, academic pursuit, and scope of the student body at Cathedral City High School.

The Bands of Cathedral City High School perform locally and around the state representing Cathedral City High School, the Coachella Valley, Cathedral City proper, as well as our friends and family.

The CCHS Band Program has performed in such prestigious performance venues and locations as the Rose Bowl, Disneyland, Washington D. C., Hawaii, San Francisco, and Chicago.

  • In 2005, the Band had the honor of performing on national television in the State Street Thanksgiving Day Parade.

  • The Cathedral City High School Symphonic Band has performed a stand-alone concert at world-famous Carnegie Hall in New York City on April 8th, 2007.

  • The 2007-2008 Concert Season featured a second national television performance as the CCHS Marching Band performed in San Diego's Big Bay Balloon Parade, and Pacific Life Holiday Bowl.

  • Additionally, the CCHS Symphonic Band was selected by the California Band Director's Association as the feature ensemble during the 2008 CBDA Convention.

  • The 2008-2009 Concert Season featured a performance by the Cathedral City Symphonic Band at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, and a twelve day performance tour of England!

The Cathedral City High School Bands are performance-level ensembles specifically designed for growing, and mature musicians. The primary goal, and function of the CCHS Band Program is to introduce students to the varied wind band repertoire at the highest level possible; while also providing them with knowledge to delve further into the study of music both at Cathedral City High School and
beyond.

If you are interested in receiving performance information, audition schedules, or would like to request other band program information, please contact us.
