Future Band Members

A Message to Our Future Members and their Parents

The Legacy Middle School band is THE BEST ELECTIVE AT LEGACY MIDDLE SCHOOL!  Well, we might be a little biased but we truly believe that band can help kids grow like no other elective can. They learn teamwork, self-confidence, and goal setting.  They also develop their creative side while learning to strive for perfection and to focus on details instead of just "the big picture". Band members also learn organizational and responsibility skills while also learning how to be respectful of others.  This translates to other classes and skill-based subjects. Oh, and they do this while learning to play a musical instrument and develop a unique skill that will last a lifetime. It uses the whole brain and actually helps to make kids smarter.  Who doesn't want a smarter kid?  Music teaches kids HOW to think not what to think.  And, in the Legacy Middle School Band, the only thing it will cost you is the price of a few school supplies and a little bit of time (instruments are free to use!).

How to Join Band for the 2025-2026 School Year

Step 1: Put "Beginner Band" as your child's FIRST CHOICE on their "Choice Slip".  It MUST be their first choice to be guaranteed to be in band.

Step 2: Complete this form: "I Want to Join the Band".   This will help us make sure they are put in band as sometimes students are missed  when schedules are made.

Step 3: Make sure your child is in attendance during the first two weeks of school as that is when we will be completing instrument screenings and placement.

It’s that simple!
