The Kamiak Show Band

The Kamiak Show Band was founded along with the rest of the school when it opened in 1993. During its time, it has had only 4 directors. It began under the direction of Brian Steves, the current Director of Orchestras at Kamiak. In 2006, the band director position was handed over to Toby Bathurst, the current band director at Olympic View Middle School. He grew the staff of the show band, with many instructors with drum corps backgrounds, most notably with the addition of Nick Benson, current program coordinator. In 2020, Patrick Hunninghake joined Kamiak, also becoming the director of the show band. In 2026, Dr. Michael James took over the Kamiak Band program.
