Student Leadership

Leadership development is integrated into all elements of the Cocoa Beach Band program. The Band teaches that leadership is the ability of a single individual through his or her actions to motivate others to higher levels of achievement; that leaders are unique and special people and that leadership is not for everyone.

Leadership is a dedication to SERVICE. Leadership is the ability to inspire, communicate, motivate, encourage, and support your and others’ quest for excellence in all aspects of life. It is the ability to do what is right and avoid the pitfalls of doing something just because it is the popular thing to do. Leadership is practiced not so much in words as it is in attitude and in actions. It is not fair to ask of others what you are unwilling to do yourself. Leadership is doing what is right when no one is watching.

Band officers are elected by other band members. Elections are usually held in April for the following year. Band officers are committed and dedicated band students who understand the programs vision and work together to create a fun and safe educational environment.

Section leaders are chosen by the band director for each school year. Section leaders demonstrate good leadership, dedication to their instrument and the band, and have a sincere passion for music.
