Message from the director:
Hello Everyone! Usually in the spring 4th grade students have the opportunity to try all of the instruments to see if they would like to join band in the 5th grade. Since we are unable to physically meet this year - we will be using this website to help with recruitment and to answer any questions that you or your child may have about 5th grade band. If your child is interested in the school band program during any or all of the next eight years, I urge you to investigate this opportunity. Please note that the instruments that we start in 5th grade are: Flute, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, and Percussion (drums/mallets).
