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.
