WHS Bands 2026-27 - Registration, Syllabus, Band Handbook and more

Hello Wheeler Band Families!

ALL members of the Wheeler Bands MUST be registered through our website, wheelerbands.org, with the Wheeler Band Booster Association (501c3). This registration gives us necessary administrative information as well as funding to support our program. Funding through the boosters goes towards: hiring professional, world class musicians to come and work with your students, purchasing food for events held throughout the school year, instrument and music upkeep, annual T-Shirts for all of our members and so much more. Students that are in a class ensemble and NOT marching band should be registered under "Class Band ONLY Registration". Marching band families should already have registered for class bands when registering for marching band.

Lastly, through the registration, you will be asked to review and sign off on our band handbook. This is where you will find almost any information you could need about our program!

All families should be registered no later than August 21st.

CFA Biscuits sale - Tuesdays & Fridays every week!

Biscuits are back, same price, same location - Tuesdays and Fridays! You can support the Wheeler Band Program by purchasing a Chick-fil-A biscuit in the Front Lobby or the PAC for $5.

We’d really love to fill all four adult volunteer slots every Tuesday and Friday morning. CFA biscuit sales are a major fundraiser benefiting all of our band programs.  Please look over the volunteer sign-up form at wheelerbands.org, and find a morning or two (or more!) when you can help out. It’s a fun way to spend time interacting with Wheeler students and staff. Veteran volunteers will be on hand to show you the ropes, and they would love to see some new faces!

If you have any questions, please email volunteerism@wheelerbands.org.
