Bangor ROCKS!
“I love school music programs…I adore them and grew up in them. However, not every kid fits that mold, and what we offer here is no mold. I don’t care if you come in playing trumpet, I don’t care if you come in playing guitar, if you play hammered dulcimer, I’ll find a spot for you. “
-Jason Stewart, MAMM’s first Bangor’s Program Coordinator
Join a band this school year! Want to rock out on the big stage? Bangor area youth (ages 10-18) are matched together into bands based on musical preferences, instrumentation, scheduling availability, and age. Let us know if you'd like to be in the same band as a friend! Bands choose what songs to learn (or write!) and have performance opportunities throughout the year at local venues, events, & festivals, including our Resurgam Festival in June. Playing in a band is an incredible opportunity to rock out with other students and grow through music.
