5th Grade Band

Our beginner band is available to students in 5th grade. The primary purpose of the beginner band is to begin learning and understanding basic fundamentals of each students' instrument.  As 4th graders, students will choose an instrument to play for 5th grade band. 5th Grade Band meets in small group lessons for the majority of the first semester preparing for large group rehearsals and concerts later in the year.
