About Us

     The Atlee High School Band Program consists of many performing ensembles including the Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Percussion Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble and Marching Raiders.  


     The band program is dedicated to instilling a quality music education to all students while providing performances of the highest caliber to audiences in the Greater Richmond Area. 

      The band program at Atlee has a rich history of success.  It is an eight time Commonwealth of Virginia Honor Band.  The Atlee Wind Ensemble was invited to perform at the VMEA In-Service Conference in 2004.  The band program continues to be one of the most visual aspects of Atlee High School.   The Marching Raiders travel to all football games and select competitions and represent the Atlee community with pride.

     Students enrolled in the band program at Atlee can also take AP Music Theory for further musical enrichment.  Students enrolled in the band program are encouraged to participate in musical activities outside the school.  Members of the band program currently participate in the Greater Richmond Youth Wind Ensemble, The Greater Richmond Youth Symphony Orchestra, District Band, All Virginia Band and Orchestra, Senior Regional Orchestra and The Central Virginia Wind Symphony.

      The band program at Atlee is a family that is student centered and success driven with the goal of developing responsible citizens to meet the challenges of change.
