Class overview

The purpose of the Mount Gilead Band Program is to provide a quality instrumental music education to students who choose to participate. This will be accomplished with proper fundamental instruction, music that covers a broad spectrum of styles, as well as a variety of performance opportunities.

The middle school band serves as a transitional group between that expands on the skills learned in the beginning band class. Students will experience class in more of a rehearsal setting, and more of an emphasis will be put on preparing and performing band repertoire. Students will learn skills and fundamentals that will ultimately prepare them for membership in the high school band.
