6th Grade Band Course Description:

Band students develop both their individual and ensemble skills in group lessons, as well as full-ensemble rehearsals. Band meets four times per cycle. Three of the classes are sectionals where students will meet with others who play the same or similar instrument. The fourth class is a large ensemble rehearsal where all band students in the grade meet. Performance concepts are centered around Grade 1 to 2 level concert literature as well as Level 1 of the Tradition of Excellence Comprehensive Band Method series as published by Kjos.  All rehearsals are conducted during the regular school day. The 6th grade band performs two evening concerts and two in-school assemblies each year.
