What is the Paredes Puma Band?
We are a close-knit community of students, caregivers, and staff dedicated to working hard, supporting each other, and continuing traditions of success. While our primary job is learning a musical instrument, the extrinsic skills of our class- collaboration, attention to detail, professionalism, and discipline- empower students to become musicians, citizens, & community members.
We invest Energy, Expertise, and Empathy to ensure student success.
Energy
We fight on behalf of all students to eliminate any barrier to equitable education. We will respect & support one another regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, financial situation, or beliefs.
Expertise
Our students have achieved the highest levels of both individual and ensemble success- traditions of excellence continue to foster in every rehearsal. Our teachers provide exemplary instruction & availability, and align our focus to a common goal- Superior Musicianship.
Empathy
We understand that everybody is struggling right now. We are respectful of one another’s struggles, traumas, and stresses. We will respect diverse and different points of view. We actively work to ensure that our students are not just musically adept, but are prepared to become compassionate members of society.
