The band goes on several trips every year, including bowling, laser tag, pizza parties, Epic Waters Waterpark, a Texas Rangers baseball game, and a trip to a College campus/professional concert hall! Additionally, band students participate in several social activities throughout the year.
You will get to meet tons of other band students. Some of those students might even be in your other classes! Band is the largest Fine Arts organization at Smithfield Middle School.
Band students have the opportunity to perform in concerts and full band competitions, plus participate in individual and group competitions in a variety of locations. Many of our band students earn awards and recognition based on their playing!
As a band student, you will have the opportunity to learn different styles of music, such as classical, rock, pop, and jazz music.

Every day you will work with your teachers and friends to make music on your instrument. You will make many friendships that will last throughout high school and beyond.
Do you enjoy using technology while you learn? We use technology on a daily basis in band class, and will teach you how to use cool apps and software while playing your instrument!
Learning to play an instrument is a skill that will last a lifetime. Be a part of an activity that will give you many years of enjoyment, you won't regret it.
We start from the beginning. Even if you have never played an instrument or don’t know how to read music, we will teach you everything you need to know in class.
