Band

The band program, directed by Evaristo Rodriguez, currently includes 130 students and four performing ensembles.  Mr. Rodriguez is currently serving his first year as the Head Band Director and is assisted by the Orchestra Director, Mrs. Koran. Students in the band program regularly achieve outstanding results at local and state level competitions.  Students compete at TMEA Region, Area and State Auditions, as well as UIL Solo and Ensemble and Concert and Sightreading Contests.  The band was selected as the Staten Island Music Festival Grand Champion in May of 2007.

Due to our schools focus on self-guided academics and fine arts, Kerr High School does not offer marching band or any organized UIL athletic teams.

Wind Ensemble- This ensemble allows students who show exceptional musical achievement and/or are considering music as a career to fine tune their skills in a challenging environment.  Students in this class have solid fundamentals on their instrument and can perform many styles of literature at an extremely high level of performance. This group competes at all UIL Concert and Sightreading contests and consistently earns Excellent and Superior Ratings.  The Kerr Wind Ensemble is the only band in Alief ISD to earn a Sweepstakes Concert Band award in the last 10 years.

Symphonic Band- This ensemble allows students who enjoy participating in music to enjoy music on a daily basis.  This group regularly performs throughout the year and recently competed at its first UIL Concert and Sightreading contest.  This ensemble has grown from 13 members five years ago to almost 60 members!
