7th GRADE BAND ROCKS!

7th Gr. Band Highlights

• We meet every day for a “skinny” class period just before lunch or just after lunch. It’s an awesome break in the middle of your day!
• Because we meet every day, we get really good, really quickly. The band songs are fun to play and the concerts sound awesome :) 
• 7th-grade is divided into only 2 sections, so the class is pretty big, like 50+ Bandies. You make lots of Bandie friends in 7th-grade!

• Performances! We perform 3 concerts (Nov, Feb, May), participate in SoloFest, and attend the 7th Grade Band Festival!
• We hop on buses and perform at the Middle Level Band Festival. We get to hear other middle school bands and get a clinic. Afterwards, we eat lunch at the Eden Prairie Center food court before heading back to school. Fun!
• Special guest musicians come and perform for us during band class. In the spring, we work with a professional composer who teaches us how to write our own music.
• Truly, 7th-grade band is all about fun, friends, and music - it doesn’t get any better!
