Message from the director:
Welcome to the Diamond View Elementary School Band Website! At DV, students do not need prior experience on a music instrument to join the band program. All they need is a desire to do their best and make a sincere effort. We will be starting our school band virtually this school year for 4th and 5th graders. If you are a potential new band student we ask that you and your parents watch the videos and complete the instrument matching test. Complete all the information and we will find the right band instrument for you! If you are a returning DV band student, we will return the instrument you used last year. In mid- September, please look for information on instrument pick up times and start dates. Classes will be virtual on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:10 to 5:00 pm.
