Music at Argonaut

High School Band

Dear Friends!

In past years, Amador County residents have been enormously generous to the ACUSD Band program. Each high school boasts beautiful new marching band and concert band uniforms. All bands have received financial support through ongoing fundraisers. Countless people have given many acts of kindness, such as donating instruments, funds, or time. All of these things and more have greatly enriched the quality of music education in our county.

All for the Students!
