"The Joliet Township High School Band was organized in 1912. Equipment included twelve second-hand instruments and nail kegs for chairs. The first home the band knew was a manual training room at the school. From this humble beginning, the band gradually rose to international prominence" |

As we look ahead to the 100th year anniversary of the JT
Band in 2012 it is fitting that we also look back to
better understand and savor our band's fascinating history. A history
and tradition of music excellence
that is rare and accompanied by the ongoing sense of pride that all JTHS
band alumni share.
A tradition that remains strong and ever-present today as current JT band
members add new chapters.

Yearly photos of the band in marching uniform on the

are a long-standing tradition of the JTHS and JT Central campus program.
