"With Pride"!
The Gull Lake High School Bands program exemplifies our motto "With Pride!"
GLHS offers students the opportunity to participate in multiple instrumental groups:
Gull Lake High School Band students are a vital and visible part of our community. Throughout the school year, students perform and entertain the crowds at home varsity football and basketball games, pep assemblies, local parades and concerts. They compete against other Michigan marching bands in MCBA contests, and consistently achieve superior ratings in the fall MSBOA Marching Festival and spring Band and Orchestra Festivals. Many students perform outside of school at events such as District XI and State Solo & Ensemble Festivals and with community groups such as the Kalamazoo Music School Jazz & Creative Institute, the Kalamazoo Junior Symphony Orchestra, and the WMU Spring Conference All-Star band.
We invite you to attend a concert - cheer us on at a competition - get involved with the GLBPA - and sit back and enjoy the music.
