A Commitment to Excellence and Innovation

Founded in 2000, Kennesaw Mountain High School Bands have established a reputation for artistic excellence and innovation. Kennesaw Mountain’s band program consists of three concert ensembles (Wind Symphony, Symphonic Band, and Concert Band), an award-winning Marching Band, Jazz Band, Percussion Ensemble, Chamber Ensembles, Pit Orchestra, and Winter Guard. Performing at multiple concerts, festivals, and competitions each year, the band curriculum focuses on developing students’ musicianship, instrumental skills, and leadership. 

October 02 - KMMI 2026 Canceled due to Inclement weather

We are truly sorry to inform you that we are forced to cancel KMMI 2026 ;-( The weather looked promising for the 5 to 8 PM window last night but has gotten worse. The big issue is the risk of lightning and Cobb County rules stipulate no one can be outside for 30 minutes after the last lightning strike within a 10 mile radius. This includes parking lots as well so we can't have Bands loading or unloading or even volunteers manning the parking lots during such stoppage.

The fact that we have a significant chance of thunderstorms almost every hour from 12 noon until 11 PM prevents us from even doing an indoor play in place exhibition event.

August 25 - Give the Band a Hand 2026 is a wrap!

A huge, huge Thank You to everyone who donated and every one who helped raise money as part of our Fall fundraiser.  We set ourselves what seemed to be an unattainable goal - our goal was to raise $40,000 and we got pretty close. We raised a total of $37,841.67 

Your help means a lot to us. Knowing we have friends like you means the world to us. Thank you for keeping the music going! Huge Kudos to the 95 students and their families that helped us reach this goal. Here are our top 10 fundraisers.

We work to make each run the best ever. And, today, our finals run was the best ever. We gave it all we had. The placements are just the caramel on the sticky toffee pudding (Get it?).

Thank you to Bands of America and Cass High School Bands for a great competition day.

Congratulations to Catawba Ridge High School Band for winning Class AA and the Overall Championship and ALL the captions!! Congratulations to all 25 Bands yesterday. It was an honor sharing the field with you all!

We placed Fifth overall  at The Georgia Marching Band Collective competition in Buford, GA. We had a great day opening the event at 10:30 AM and then performing in Finals at 9:30 PM. This was our best run yet. We got more to give.

Congratulations to KMMI Runner-up Walton HS for claiming top-honors here. KMMI XXV Winner Pope HS was not too far behind at number 2. Hillgrove HS took number 4. Needless to say, Cobb County was well represented in the top 5
