Message from the director:
Join one of Belton’s oldest and most successful traditions - BAND! In middle school, we teach the follow band instruments: flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba, and percussion. In order to decide which instrument your child is best suited to play, we require both of you to come to just one of our three Instrument Placement Nights that we offer at each of the 3 middle schools. Instrument selections are based upon physical characteristics, your child’s natural abilities, instrument preference, and our professional opinion. At that time, they will choose their top 3 instrument choices based on the ones they tried. Contact Mr. Pulley at the contact information to find out this year's dates for the Instrument Placement Sessions.
