Felix Varela High School - Band Program

Band Program

The Band of Mystery is a fairly well known and highly placed high school band, was headed by Mr. Christopher Illa, but now directed by Dr. Lussier. The band is very reputable earning high placement in the district as well as the state, which is large feat because of the fact that it is only a 2A band. In the 2010-2011 school year, the Band of Mystery went to states. The band earned first in semi-finals and third in finals. This program has a reputable jazz band and wind ensemble as well, which both receive 'Superior' overall.

Famous quotes containing the words band and/or program:

    “And the heavy night hung dark
    The hills and waters o’er,
    When a band of exiles moored their bark
    On the wild New England shore.”
    —Felicia Dorothea Hemans (1783–1835)

    “In 1862 the congregation of the church forwarded the church bell to General Beauregard to be melted into cannon, “hoping that its gentle tones, that have so often called us to the House of God, may be transmuted into war’s resounding rhyme to repel the ruthless invader from the beautiful land God, in his goodness, has given us.””
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
