Message from the director:
I encourage you to support your child's future by having them participate in our Bear Branch Intermediate Band program. Students do not need any music experience to blossom in band class. We teach our students everything they need to be successful. Of course if they already have music experience, then they should continue exploring music by learning a BAND instrument. We look forward to working with you and your child to make playing their instrument something they will love, and you will too. Learning to play an instrument in band could be a life changing experience they will always treasure. Try it - 6th grade is the best time to do it, and it is so easy to get started!!!
