Message from the director:

Hello Everyone! It's that time of year again where you have the opportunity to join middle school band! There are so many benefits to joining and not only will you learn about music, but you'll have fun doing so! We typically do instrument fittings and trying of instruments during this time. Since we can not physically meet - we will use this website for recruiting new band students and answer any questions that you or your child may have. I encourage you all to at least give it a shot and I think you'll really love being a part of band! When we fit for instruments, these are the instruments we offer for 6th Grade Beginning Band: Flute, Clarinet, Alto Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone, and Percussion (drums/mallets). Thank you so much and hope to hear from you soon!!
