WELCOME to one of the most exciting experiences in which you can be a part – THE BAND! The goal of the band program is to provide our students with a lifelong understanding and appreciation for quality music and music making. In addition, we get to use the medium of music to teach some wonderful life lessons as part of our comprehensive program here at Eastern Greenbrier Middle School.
Please stop here often to keep up with the many things the EGMS Band has to offer.

Ratings! April 23rd!
The 7th and 8th grade band will be attending our annual ratings performance. This is for ALL 2nd/3rd year 7th and 8th students (not just marching band students). Permission forms will be handed out shortly. See below for details.
Annual Raffle Fundraiser for 7th and 8th grade King's Island Trip
Our annual raffle fundraiser has begun! The students were sent home with tickets. The date of the drawing is listed on the ticket; all money and tickets are due two weeks before the drawing date. Every ticket is $5 which goes directly towards the student’s individual trip (so you may subtract the cost from any of your payments). It is possible to raise money for the entire trip with this one fundraiser (many students have done this in the past). Extra money sold will count as spending money for the trip. Good luck!
Solo and Ensemble Results
Wanted to say congratulations to all the students who participated in Solo and Ensemble! Below are the results:
End of the Year Trip!
All marching band members are eligible for the end of the year trip to King's Island on May 15-17! Please make sure this contract is completed and returned when we get back to school.
