About UsThe Mount Vernon High School band program is long and rich in tradition. Once considered one of the most outstanding marching band programs in the State of Iowa under the guidance of the great Don Stein, the program has always held close to its traditions of excellence. The high school band prides itself on representing their incredible school district and historically rich community with the utmost pride and dedication. All three of our ensembles work very hard to bring to the stage the very best in high school and collegiate level repertoire.
Located just outside of Cedar Rapids, Mount Vernon is one of America's most beautiful small towns. Home to Cornell College and some of the most wonderful small businesses, Mount Vernon is certainly worth the trip! |
Our goal |
Our goal is simple. To work very hard to ensure that every student has an opportunity to excel in band. No one is left out and we pride ourselves on being a family. We work countless hours in perfecting our craft and we work together to make the best possible product for our audiences. The band room is a place to belong. All troubles are left at the door and team work and responsibility go hand in hand.

To bring our very best to the marching band field. To the concert stage. To the jazz competition. It is NOT our goal to be number one. It is our goal to be the crowd favorite no matter where we go!
We represent our school district with the utmost pride and dedication. It is our goal to make Mount Vernon the best place in Iowa to be involved in high school music. |
