Columbia Heights High School Band Space Needs
The High School band classroom will not meet the future needs of the expanding program
• The numbers of students in the band has been growing over the last 10yrs.• The district received several grants from VH1 save the music foundation• The district invested in additional staff and resources• The district has received smaller grants from the city of Columbia Heights
activity fund to support band students• These grants and investments continue to strengthen and grow the band
programing at Columbia Heights Schools
• The current space has lower ceilings resulting in poor acoustics and potential safety hazards.
• The current individual practice spaces need upgrading
After a walkthrough of the building by staff and consulting engineers, we are unable to find a space
large enough to accommodate the expanding band program

Columbia Heights High School Gymnasium Improved Performance Space
• The (PAC)Performing Arts Center is the only performance space that we have in the district.

As district performing arts programs are expanding added with community use, additional performance space is required
