About

Arlington Band Boosters is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our mission is to enliven and maintain an enthusiastic interest in the band programs of the Arlington Central School District. We provide support (moral, financial, social, and otherwise) for the band programs and band students at Arlington High School.

The Arlington High School Music program is a nationally recognized music program that has enjoyed many successes since its beginnings over 50 years years ago.

The Arlington Music program has been named one of the Top 100 Communities for Music Education in the USA. The band programs have garnered many accolades and honors at the local, regional, state, and national levels. Every school year several hundred Arlington students participate in one or more of the many programs offered by the Arlington High School Music Department. The program offers multiple levels of bands, choirs, and orchestras as well as instruction in music theory and piano.
