Instrumental Music
The Bethlehem Catholic High School Music Department’s mission is to prepare our students to be knowledgeable, capable, and flexible musicians, and leaders for a lifetime of learning and appreciation of music.
We hope to see you out cheering for the award-winning Bethlehem Catholic Golden Hawk Band or enjoying one of our many concerts during the school year.

Band
The Bethlehem Catholic Golden Hawk Band has a long-standing tradition of excellence. The band performs at Becahi football and basketball games, in concerts and local parades, and “on the road” for its annual spring trip. Students who elect to travel with the band have the opportunity to enrich their music education through performance, the exploration of art and culture as patrons, and also enjoy a full itinerary of fun activities with their friends.
2022 Field Show: “When the Clock Strikes Midnight”
2021 Field Show: “Becahi Marching Band Returns: The Shrekoning”
Students who wish to join the Golden Hawk Band must register for Band or Band Front as a class and report to camp in August. Once school begins, the band rehearses daily during 1st Period. Sectional lessons meet weekly on a rotating schedule. Students are also expected to practice regularly at home. Beginners are welcome and instruments are provided by the Band Parents Association on a first come, first served basis.

Honor Guard
During marching season, the Golden Hawk Band opens its ranks to “Little Hawks” from our partner schools to present the colors with honor and pride as junior members of the band. Honor Guard participants are invited to the final week of band camp to learn marching skills, train for field shows and parades, and are issued a full band uniform. Throughout the year, our “Little Hawks” members will be called into service to perform at football games and parades with the Golden Hawk Band.
