"Everybody should go to Boys State. Between the sports, the band, and all of the activities, there's something for everyone. You can make a lot of new friends, too."

Boys State Band

The Boys State Band plays an integral role in the Illinois Boys State program.  The band practices daily under the direction of professional music educators.  Participants bring their own instruments; however, Eastern and Boys State provide sousaphones, bass drums, and field snares.  The band plays a concert each evening and also plays an impressive flag lowering ceremony each afternoon.  Band members may participate in athletics and/or politics as they choose.
If you want to have some musical fun during Boys State, bring your instrument along. For further information about the Boys State Band, contact the director by clicking on the link below.
