Maggie Walker Band Program
Mr. Nick Merillat, Director

Welcome! The MLWGS Band Program provides a comprehensive instrumental performance education to students. All band students at MLWGS perform in one of two concert bands and/or percussion ensemble.  Extracurricular ensembles offered by audition:

Drumline (auditions in May)
Jazz Ensemble (Auditions in January) 

Advanced Placement courses, weighted ("intensive") band classes, and Senior Seminars which are offered for musicians interested in advanced performance, theoretical concepts, songwriting, and music production. Classes are taught in a non-competitive, inviting atmosphere with a high standard for excellence. See the course planning guide below to plan your musical journey at MLWGS.
