The 4th-grade band program is offered at Spring Hills School. Listed are IMPORTANT dates for aspiring 4th-grade band participants. Just a note: all 4th-grade students will have the opportunity to perform at our annual Pancake Breakfast, our Spring Concert, and with the Roselle Middle School Marching Band in the annual Rose Parade.
4th-grade band members do not receive a grade for the first trimester. 4th-grade band members receive a standards-based grade for band for the 2nd and 3rd trimesters.
You can sign up your child for the 4th-grade band ONLINE! Please remember that being in the 4th-grade band is NOT a requirement. Joining the 4th-grade band is completely optional.
2. Rent an instrument HERE or (CLICK here to watch a video demonstration). For those who rent from Quinlan and Fabish, the instruments will be delivered to SHS on Monday, following the 4th Grade Band Showcase night. The students will receive their instruments and supplies on the day of their scheduled lesson that week. Schedules will be emailed (handed out to new band members) the week of the band showcase (usually Friday). If you have your instrument (already own it or are renting it elsewhere), you do not need to rent one from Quinlan and Fabish. Please have your child plan to bring their instrument to the first day of practice.
3. Use my suggested instrument list to BUY an instrument online. This is the best "bang for your buck" option, especially if you know your 4th grader is going to stay in band.
