Welcome to Band!

Sign up:

 Students who participated in band last year (5th Grade, 6th Grade, 7th Grade) are automatically signed up for the 26/27 school year. 

If your student would like to join, please email me or have them see me in room 410!

Lesson Procedure:

• We are using a new weekly rotation schedule. Students will keep the same lesson day each week, but the time will rotate. If school is closed on their scheduled day, an alternate lesson day will be assigned for that week.

  • Below will be a spreadsheet of the lesson groups for the 26/27 school year

Ensemble Auditions:

Auditions for Jazz Band   will be held September 8th & 9th! Information is on Google Classroom & outside my door!
