7th Grade Band
7th Grade Band classes are designed to continue the basic performance techniques and develop fundamental playing skills that enable students to continue their music education in a full band group setting. The 7th Grade Intermediate Band is directed by Ms. Riesenberg with assistance from Mr. Anderson and Mr. Hall.
The band directors work very hard to make music an enjoyable, meaningful, and rewarding experience for the students, but also hold the ensembles to high standards of performance.
Classes meet during the school day, every day, for the entire year. We are very fortunate to have this schedule here at Shawnee Middle School!
In addition to class time, students are expected to practice about 20 minutes a day for 5 days a week. 7th graders also have three evening performances during the school year along with participating in the District OSSAA contest in March.
