The Conner Middle School Band Program consists of over 300 students in grades 6 through 8. Our students participate in all grade level bands including Symphonic Band, Concert Band I, Concert Band II, 6th Grade Beginning Red Band, 6th Grade Beginning Black Band, and have opportunities to perform in Advanced Jazz Ensemble, Jazz Band II, Percussion Ensemble, and other small instrumental groups throughout the year.

The bands have received numerous honors over the past 40 years.  More recently, the Symphonic Band was invited to perform at the 2008 Kentucky Music Educators Association State In-Service Conference in Louisville, Kentucky, and performed again in 2010 as a demonstration group. In addition, the Symphonic Band was invited to perform at the 2006 University of Kentucky Middle School Band Invitational in Lexington, Kentucky and will perform again in 2010. The 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 bands were recognized by the judges as the Exemplary Performance Ensemble in the District 6 Large Ensemble Assessments. The band has just commissioned a new piece by renowned composer John Mackey that will be performed in the 2010-2011 school year.

Conner Middle School regularly has one of the largest percentages of students in the Northern Kentucky Select Band (out of the seven Northern Kentucky counties) and currently has students performing with the Junior Cincinnati Youth Wind Ensemble at the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music. In addition, our students participate in several honor bands throughout Kentucky and the tri-state area.
