- Concert and Symphonic Bands
- Evenly balanced bands, consisting of a mix of 10-11th grade band students.
- Wind Ensemble & Wind Symphony
- Top audition-based bands for 10-12th grade band students. All 12th grade band students are guaranteed a spot in Wind Ensemble if they don't make it into Wind Symphony.
Marching Band
- Varsity Marching Band
- All 10-12th grade band students participate in this curricular marching band, which performs at all home football games.

Solo/Ensemble
All EHS Band Students participate in our annual Solo & Ensemble event, an opportunity for them to prepare a solo or small ensemble piece and perform for a clinician for feedback and scoring based on the MSHSL Solo/Ensemble rubrics.
International Tours
Every three years, the EHS Band Program travels to an international destination with the dual intent of performing and touring. Past trips have included side-by-side concerts with local bands, performances at notable locations and monuments, and exploration of tourist sights. Past destinations have included countries such as France, Greece, China, Puerto Rico, Italy, and Spain.

Community EngagementThe public community has the opportunity to connect with our band program each year through a variety of events. All EHS Band concerts are free and open to the public, and many other band performances such as athletic events lend themselves naturally to connecting to community members who might otherwise never see the band program's work on display. One of the primary community events that the EHS Band Program participates in each year is the Eagan July 4th Funfest Parade. Band members from all grades voluntarily join this performing ensemble to celebrate July 4th with our community. The EHS Band Program has also performed at various events locally for both private and public entities. Examples of these events include:
