KEEPING IT SHARP,
NEVER FLAT— 
MOELLER/MND BAND

The Moeller/Mount Notre Dame (MND) Band is a dynamic partnership between Moeller High School and MND, with over 75 members performing at concerts, football games, competitions, and musicals.

In the fall, students join the marching band, delivering high-energy performances with electronics, dance, guitars, and more. 

It’s a great way for incoming freshmen to make friends before school even starts!

After football season, students transition to concert band, performing at Christmas and spring concerts, as well as in major cities. Additional opportunities include jazz band, pep band, and the spring musical.

DESIGNED TO INSPIRE—VISUAL ARTS

WE ARE SHAPING THE NEXT GENERATION OF CREATIVE LEADERS, EQUIPPING YOUNG MEN WITH THE SKILLS TO THRIVE IN ANY ARTISTIC FIELD.

Moeller students learn to create and analyze art while developing verbal communication skills. Through bi-weekly critiques, they practice discussing and defending their work while building empathy. Each course emphasizes design thinking, a strong work ethic, and the discipline required to pursue artistic excellence. Students also produce a cumulative portfolio reviewed at the end of each semester.
