The purpose of the Thompson Middle School Band program is to impart an appreciation of music to all of its members through
successful study and performance. In addition, students are given the opportunity to develop the skills necessary for future
life experiences and develop their knowledge of music that will prepare the student for the progression into the high school
band program.
The Thompson Viking Band program offers a beginning band, an advanced band, and a jazz band and pep band for advanced
band members. There are 70 students participating in the band program, performing at concerts, assemblies, community
and athletic events throughout the year. Viking Band students are active in District Band Festival, All-District Honor Band
and All-City Honor Band.

This site attempts to be an online corpus of all TMS Band information, and as so, it would be appreciated that any additional
information on the program or any errors that the reader may spot, would be reported to Mr. Jackson.
