The Helena High School band was established in 2014 in conjunction with the opening of Helena High School. The band includes multiple ensembles including symphonic band, wind ensemble, jazz band, concert band, and three visual ensembles.  The band director is Jeff Burnside. The Band Booster Board works alongside the band staff to help build an excellent band program. 

Our parent volunteers are essential to the HHS Band Program providing our students with great opportunities.  On average, it takes 52 parents volunteering every Friday night to pull off a successful event, not to mention summer band camp, competitions and of course the annual trips.  That’s about 400+ volunteers annually to support the band.  The Helena community and our parent volunteers provide energy, enthusiasm and selflessness that has become a core fabric of the HHS Band.  Volunteers truly enrich the environment and experience for our kids, but I think the volunteers get more than they give.  To borrow a famous quote, “Volunteers do not necessarily have the time, they just have the heart”.  Our volunteers have an enormous heart, and the willingness to share that heart is what helps them make a difference in our program.
