Columbia Heights High School Band Space Needs

The High School band classroom will not meet the future needs of the expanding program

• The numbers of students in the band has been growing over the last

10yrs.

• The district received several grants from VH1 save the music foundation
• The district invested in additional staff and resources
• The district has received smaller grants from the city of Columbia Heights

activity fund to support band students

• These grants and investments continue to strengthen and grow the band

programing at Columbia Heights Schools

• The current space has lower ceilings resulting in poor acoustics and

potential safety hazards.

• The current individual practice spaces need upgrading

After a walkthrough of the building by staff and consulting engineers, we are unable to find a space large enough to accommodate the expanding band program

Columbia Heights High School Band Space Needs

Columbia Heights High School New Band Space

• Separate practice spaces
• Instrument repair and cleaning room
• Sufficient instrument storage
• Furnishings (chairs, risers, podium, etc..)
• Additional natural lighting
• Improved acoustics

Columbia Heights High School Gymnasium Improved Performance Space

• The (PAC)Performing Arts Center is the only performance space that

we have in the district.

• The (PAC)Performing Arts Center is frequently accessed by the

community as it is the primary performance space for community groups as well.

• Columbia Heights High School accesses the space for its band, choir,

theatre, and musical theatre programming

• Columbia Academy accesses the space for its band, choir, and

musical theatre programming As district performing arts programs are expanding added with community use, additional performance space is required
