About UsThe E-Hawk Band Program is located in Emmetsburg, Iowa. All students, grades 5-12, are allowed and encouraged to participate in the Instrumental Music Education program. Students grow and are challenged through all mediums of instrumental music literature. Each year, students participate in Concert Band, Marching Band, Pep Band, Solo/Ensemble, and Jazz Band. The bands are fortunate to have an outstanding amount of community support, and constantly seek ways to give back. This enhances students' understanding of how music can positively enrich a community.
