Welcome to the Huntley High School Bands Website.

Huntley High School Bands provide students with opportunities to develop their musical skills, build lasting friendships, and take pride in their school and community. Throughout the year, our ensembles perform at concerts, sporting events, parades, community events, and even local businesses as part of fundraising efforts.

Huntley High School offers a wide variety of opportunities for students to participate, including Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Concert Band, and Percussion Ensemble, as well as Marching Band, Jazz Ensemble, Pep Band, and Color Guard.

Huntley Bands have performed at concert band festivals throughout Illinois, including the Chicagoland Invitational, the Illinois State University Concert Band Festival, and the Illinois SuperState Concert Band Festival. Students also have the opportunity to audition for Illinois Music Educators Association (ILMEA) instrumental ensembles and the McHenry County Honor Band.
