Middle School Band is open to all 6-8 grade students who have completed one year of band. This ensemble meets Tuesdays and Fridays during the school day at 12 p.m. opposite study hall.
Middle School Band is a graded course. Students receive points for attending weekly lessons and completing assigned benchmarks, band rehearsal participation, and concert performances. Students will learn technique, tone, rhythm, posture, pitch, and musical expression. Students need to practice at home in order to be successful at learning their instrument.
Students enrolled in MSB will also be placed in a virtual Google Classroom.
Lessons
All students enrolled in both Charger and Middle School Band are required to take lessons.
