Want to be involved in our Brewer Band Program? You should become a Fightin’ Bear Band Booster Member today and invite your friends and family to do so as well. https://fightinbearband.com/membership/
Booster meetings are open to everyone - you do not have to be a paid member to attend the meeting. There are various ways to volunteer as a band booster such as High School varsity concession stands, hemming dresses/uniforms, volunteering to chaperone, preparing snacks for the marching band, and helping in other hospitality opportunities. Please contact one of our representatives:
BMS Nick Hale: bms@brewerband.org

Private Lessons
Private lessons are a great way to provide one-on-one instruction that does not happen in the typical band class. These lessons are taught by highly certified instructors who are professionals on your child's instrument! Private lessons are a great way to speed up the learning process and target specific skills for your child!
Lessons are $18.00-$20.00 each for a half hour/half class period. Students may also sign up for a buddy lesson, 2 students in the same band class will take a lesson at the same time for half price.
Private lessons are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
