Band Resources

Band Method Book

Currently Hill City School Bands use the Essential Elements for Band with Essential Elements Interactive (EEi) method books.

These books aide in teaching the basic skills needed to begin each instrument and basics of reading sheet music for each instrument.

In 5th-8th grades we use volume 1 (the yellow top cover).

In 9th-12th grades we use volume 2 (the red top cover).
