Welcome to the Hays Bands Website

Thanks for visiting haysbands.org. We hope you find what you are looking for and enjoy reading about the band programs at Hays High School, Barton Middle School, and Dahlstrom Middle School - some of the best band programs around! Thanks for being a band booster and we would love to see you get involved with the volunteer opportunities this year. The band is the largest student organization at each of the schools and it takes quite an effort from all of us to make it successful. Thanks again, cheers, and Go Rebels, Bobcats, and Mustangs!
