The Beebe Badger Beginning Band is split into two different classes: Woodwind/percussion and Brass In these classes, students learn not only the basics of music such as notes and rhythms, but also the basics of their instrument, how to properly care for their instrument, and how to play their instrument. Typically, Beginning Band members take this class in the 6th grade, however, some older students have been known to participate in the class. The Beginning Band performs twice for the public throughout the year, once at the Beebe Bands Winter Concert and again at the Beebe Bands Spring Concert.
