If you thought a school having its own choir is great, then what will you say to a school which has its own band?

St. Andrews School band has 100 accomplished music players, who have made their school proud by winning several inter-school band display competitions.

The pioneer band consisted of flutes, chanters, guard drums, side drums and base drum with cymbals, bugles and saxophones. Our band also includes flag bearers who carry their respective House flags i.e. Emerald Gladiators, Ruby Spartans, Sapphire Knights and Topaz Vikings. Each House has 12 flag bearers and they are selected from Class VI. Most of these flag bearers then go on to join the band.

The band came into its own league when it gave its very first display, smartly turned out in red and white kilts, on the Sports day in 1992. From then on there was no turning back. The band display has become a not-to-be-missed event on every school occasion.

Now, the St. Andrews band has become a prominent and renowned one and they are being constantly invited to play for different government functions. St. Andrews band has been a regular participant in the Andhra Pradesh Police Traffic Week celebrations. They were adjudged the Best School Band in the State. The greatest honour of course was when the St. Andrews band was invited by the State Government to play for the Governor of Andhra Pradesh, Hon'ble Dr. C. Rangarajan on his visit to the Open Air Jail at Cherallapally in October 2000.
