This class is designed for incoming 6th Grade Band students who are continuing to play their current Band instrument from 5th Grade. This class is also available to incoming 7th grade students who wish to continue playing in band over the summer before junior high school. This class is not intended for students who wish to switch instruments in 6th Grade. Students wishing to switch instruments in 6th Grade should sign up for the "Switch" Band class.Â
** Students switching from Alto Saxophone to Tenor Saxophone or Clarinet to Bass Clarinet should sign up for the Intermediate Band class, not the "Switch" Band class, as the transition from alto to tenor is very simple and the transition from clarinet to bass clarinet is also very simple. **
