Mighty Button Band
Part of the Fine Arts Department at Central Catholic, the Button Band performs as a marching band during half-time shows at football games and later in the school year becomes a wind band. In addition, the Button Jazz Band also provides musical support at many community events throughout the year. Besides performing at assemblies, parades and concerts, students also participate in the brass choir and woodwind choir. A variety of music is studied. In the mid 1960s, the Button Band began accepting students from Providence High School (an all-girls school) adjacent to Central Catholic. The great and long history of the Button Big Band has added to the overall success of so many activities at Central Catholic and Providence High School.

Famous quotes containing the words mighty, button and/or band:
“Oh, blank confusion! true epitome
Of what the mighty city is herself,
To thousands upon thousands of her sons,
Living amid the same perpetual whirl
Of trivial objects, melted and reduced
To one identity, by differences
That have no law, no meaning, and no end—”
—William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
“What is the life of man! Is it not to shift from side to side?—from sorrow to sorrow?—to button up one cause of vexation!—and unbutton another!”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“Firm, united, let us be,
Rallying round our Liberty;
As a band of brothers joined,
Peace and safety we shall find.”
