Drums Along the Columbia is the local Drum Corps International summer marching band show. A few Hanford band members are spending their summer perfecting their skills in the Seattle Cascades, Spokane Thunder and even the Boston Crusaders' drum major this summer is a Hanford Band alumnus.

DCI is coming to Pasco on Sunday, July 1 at 7 pm.

Hanford Band students are able to sell tickets and make $5 per ticket profit for their student accounts. If a student sells 20 tickets, that is a $100 credit to their fall marching band and trip fees. These tickets sell easily to band families, neighbors, band alumni and their parents, work friends, etc.... Go door to door and find out who used to be in marching band. They'll love this great night of summer entertainment and the price is well worth it for a DCI quality show. Download order form

Welcome

For the past 10 years, the Hanford Music Department has grown into one of the most celebrated music programs in the North West.  Outstanding individual musicianship and excellent scores and ratings for ensembles are the product of student discipline, responsibility, and teaching that aspires excellence.  

Students in our program are regularly involved in rigorous academic schedules that include AP courses, Running Start, and Worked Based Learning.  Most are also involved in extra-curricular activities both in the high school and in the community.  Band students are repeatedly earning scholarships to top colleges around the country, and are excelling in all areas of life. 

The program boasts many awards from regional and national competitions, and has a growing number of individuals who are selected for honor bands.  There is even a student nominated for the US Army All American Band.  The program attracts nationally recognized artists who visit Hanford as guest-artists-in-residence.

You can learn more about our band program here.
