Thank you for visiting the Hylton Bulldog Band website. The Hylton Band and the Hylton Band Boosters are both organizations that have been built from the ground up on a strong foundation of basic principles: Pride, Integrity, and Character. These qualities have produced several generations of well-rounded citizens capable of giving of themselves for the greater good. It is my goal to continue building upon the successes of past Bulldogs, ever increasing the standards of what it means to act with integrity, to be a person of character, and to take pride in your accomplishments. With music as their vehicle, Hylton band members will leave this school better than they found it and dive head-first into the real world ready to face any challenge with the same determination and hard work that is necessary for success in band. The Hylton Band program exists to serve Hylton High School students, teachers, administration, staff, and community. I will do everything in my power to make sure that our students are ready,capable, and passionate about completing this service at the highest level of excellence.

I thank you for your support of our family of musicians and I look forward to seeing you at our next performance! Please feel free to email me (anderscs@pwcs.edu) with any of your questions or concerns and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
