Band
Band is a performance-based course which requires student participation in day and evening performances. This course provides students with learning and performance opportunities on wind, and percussion instruments. Through large and small ensemble experiences, students will learn basic theory and performance skills such as articulation, embouchure, hand position and posture. Through their participation in an ensemble the students will be introduced to blend, balance, intonation (playing in tune) and instrumentation. Students will learn self-discipline through home practice and rehearsal sessions.
Students who successfully completed Band during 7th Grade may be recommended for Advanced Band for 8th grade.
