Band in elementary school is a pull out program which means that students will miss some of their regular classroom time to attend the band lessons. To be in Band, students are expected to make up any class work they might miss while in their band lessons and to keep their grades up. We do our best to not pull students during math and language arts. Band students are also expected to practice their instrument daily at home. Thirty minutes a day is the secret to success and growth. Band students will be expected to attend all lessons on time, practice at home regularly, bring their instrument and band book to each lesson, and be on their best behavior.
