8th Grade Band meets during the same hour each day, and is split into sections by band staff for rehearsal.
The two method books we will use during the year are pictured and linked below.
Students, by using the code in the front cover of their method book, may create an account on the Essential Elements Interactive website. Here they may hear recordings of the book content, play along with them, use a metronome, and use fun background accompaniments.
