The Beginner Band is comprised of first-year band students. Prior experience is not necessary: each student goes through an interview process to help determine the instrument on which the student will be most successful. Students receive instruction on fundamental tone, rhythmic concepts, and basic music reading skills to prepare them for one of the two performing bands. Mr. Terriquez's beginner classes include the trombone, trumpet, french horn, and euphonium/tuba. Mr. Bellville teaches the saxophone, oboe/bassoon, clarinet, flute, and percussion classes. Extra assistance in teaching these classes is graciously provided by the Trinity High School band directors.
