Purpose

The Palm Beach Central Band program consists of offerings in musical education at Palm Beach Central High School.  The program is under the direction of Mr. James Yaques.

    The Palm Beach Central Band program is dedicated to providing a variety of musical opportunities for its students allowing everyone a chance to reach their highest possible level of excellence. Every member of this organization assumes the responsibility of continuing the proud tradition that has been established by others like themselves through dedication and hard work.  The members of the PBCHS Bronco Band are proud of their accomplishments and it is in this spirit that new members are welcomed.

     As a member of the PBCHS Bronco Band program, you are expected to set high goals for yourself and the program.  The success of YOUR band program first requires that YOU be 100% dedicated and committed to doing your part in reaching our goals!  The rewards of reaching those goals are immeasurable in the development of our students as well-rounded human beings. It is our belief that the process is just as important as the product.  This places the emphasis on the development and growth of each individual student, not just on specific performances.  Members of the PBCHS Bronco Band develop musically, emotionally, mentally, socially, and physically during their time in the program.  Objectives include character building, commitment, cooperation, dependability, determination, discipline, leadership, punctually, respect, responsibility and self-control.
