This year our band students will be advancing through different levels of proficiency on their instruments through a program referred to as Band Karate. Students will be expected to meet a level of proficiency with each unit to move on to the next. Students will be expected to work on their own in order to move on. It is our hope that each student takes their music education seriously and has fun on their quest to their Black Belt.
