7th & 8th Grade Band Schedule
7th and 8th graders will have Advanced Band each Wednesday and Thursday during intervention. There will be no lessons for 7th and 8th graders.

Returning 6th Grade Band Schedule

6th Graders who played an instrument last year will be part of the “Developing Band.” They will have a lesson during class each Wednesday on a rotating basis. They will also have Developing Band during intervention every Thursday. Occasionally instead of having a Wednesday lesson, they will have Developing Band on Wednesdays.

New 6th Grade and All 5th Grade Schedule

All students who are starting an instrument this year will have lessons every Wednesday during classes on a rotating basis. They will also have Beginning Band during intervention every Wednesday. Beginning in January, they will join the Developing Band, and will have Developing Band on Thursdays instead of Beginning Band on Wednesdays.

Start of School with Returning Students

There will be a 15-minute meeting for all returning band students in the music room during period 3 on Thursday of next week (9/6). Band will start up for the year the following Thursday, 9/13.

Instrument Demonstrations and Signups (5th & 6th Grade)

​There will be an instrument demonstration with Timeline Music on Monday, September 10th at the start of first period (specials), which will run about 25 minutes. Instrument selection forms are due back by Tuesday, September 18th and instrument pickup night will be on Monday, September 24th. New band students will begin lessons on Wednesday, September 26th.

I’ll have rosters of 6-8 grade band kids out following the meeting next week, and will send out a roster of new band students following the pickup night.
