Open auditions are held for Wind Symphony and Symphonic Band at the end of the school year for the following year. Concert Band is the designated band for first year members and also open to all students wishing to play a band instrument. During the school day the bands meet during different class periods.During the fall, all three bands are primarily a marching band which performs during football half time shows, parades, and field competitions. They have a very busy rehearsal and performance schedule during this time. The bands practice for marching band and perform together. The bands perform in the school Winter concert in December.

Percussion Ensemble
This class is made up of all percussion students and all students are members of the Steele Regiment marching band.  Students attend all extra marching rehearsals as discussed in the previous section.  Members of the percussion class are expected to learn and perform on all instruments associated with percussion playing, including keyboard mallet instruments. During the Spring, the percussion ensemble rehearses the Concert Band music in addition to preparing multiple percussion-only pieces. The group performs at all regular concerts as part of the Concert Band, and as a standalone ensemble. The percussion ensemble also performs at festivals for ratings.

Color Guard
Color Guard consists of everyone enrolled in the Color Guard class.
In the fall, Color Guard is a part of the Steele Regiment, and during parades, members perform with flags. During field shows and half time shows, Color Guard performs with various flags to help express the emotion conveyed in a good show.
During the spring, Color Guard is known as Winterguard and competes in indoor competitions held in Southern California. They also participate in the department's end of the year concert.
