Welcome
We are excited to have you join one of the most active, rewarding, inclusive, & successful organizations at Grassfield–the Grassfield Band. In our program, there are opportunities for every student to improve as musicians, grow as leaders, & create memories that will last a lifetime. Be it 9th Grade Band, Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, Marching Band, Color Guard, Jazz Band, Winter Guard, or Winter Percussion–there is something for everyone.
Music education is more than just playing an instrument. It is immersing in a culture of successful students and teachers who care about education. It challenges each student to use the creative side of their brain while, at the same time, learning a foreign language…MUSIC. All of the current data clearly states that students involved in music education academically outperform their non-musical counterparts.
Every destination starts with a decision to embark on a journey. Now is the time to start yours & the Grassfield Band is the place to do it. We look forward to meeting everyone on March 25th at 7:00pm at the 2024-2025 Band Information Meeting. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions you may have!
Musically Yours,
Mr. Keith Dublin Mr. Luke Walker
Director of Bands Associate Director of Bands

Communication & upcoming Information
The Grassfield Band Program uses two (2) primary forms of communication for all of our ensembles & events:
CutTime Website
CutTime is our online band management system we use to keep track of finances, inventory, email communications, volunteers, and the band calendar. Every student involved in a Concert Ensemble (9th Grade Band, Symphonic, or Wind Ensemble) or Competitive Ensemble (Marching Band, Winter Guard, Indoor Percussion, Jazz Band) and at least one parent/guardian is required to set up CutTime accounts. We are currently in the process of upgrading to the latest version of CutTime. Please click on either the student or parent/guardian link below to provide information for account setup:BAND App
The BAND app is a phone app (accessible by web browser as well) we use for each of our ensembles. For each ensemble, the BAND app is used for:
- Schedules & rehearsal reminders
- Important information & updates
- File sharing (music, forms, etc.)
- Section chat rooms (monitored by Directors)
