Week of 9/10/17 - 9/16/17

Kicking off the year!

Thursday night was a great kick off event.  The Symphonic Band performed and we had hundreds of parents and students there to learn about our program and getting an instrument.  We have over 400 students in the band this year!  Students progress through 3 levels of band.
  • Beginning Band
  • Concert Band
  • Symphonic Band

 Sectionals

We live in one of the top band communities in one of the top states in the US.  In order for our students to be successful and remain competitive in our region we have required section rehearsals once per week after school.
  • The rehearsals are from 3:45 to  4:45 on the designated day.  
  • Transportation is NOT provided.  Students must exit the building at 4:45
  • Students that are in other activities (sports, art, etc) are excused from those activities.  We work with the coaches of the other activities to make a workable schedule.
  • Attendance is required for members of the Symphonic and Concert Bands
Monday - Flutes
Tuesday - Clarinets and Saxophones
Wednesday - Trumpets, French Horns and Percussion
Thursday - Low Brass - T-bones, Baritones, Tubas
