Message from the director:
Hello! My name is Mr. Neidner, and I'm excited that you are thinking about being a part of the band! Band is a very rewarding experience, and studies show that being actively involved in music benefits the brain and builds good habits! If you have any questions, please contact me so that we can get your child going in band! Please note: Mallets and percussion are the same thing; if you choose this instrument, you learn both! Additionally, for Oboe, French Horn, and Percussion, I will be checking with your music teacher to see how you have done in music, as these instruments are very limited on their availability!
