MHS Band Curriculum Summary

In middle school, we learn the fundamentals of how to properly play our instruments and how to perform. In high school, we apply and refine those skills in a number of performance settings including marching band, pep band, and concert band. With many performances throughout the year, our goal is to put on a polished and enjoyable performance for those in the Mancelona community. It is the ultimate academic assessment to put what we learn into action. 

An important aspect of band is not only the community we perform for, but the community we create in the classroom as well. Music ensembles are just like sports teams. Everyone needs to contribute and do their part to put forth a quality performance, and through that work and time together a close bond can form between peers. In this ensemble the performers learn how to work together and listen to one another, developing not only quality music but also quality relationships that can withstand the test of time.
