MARCHING BAND,
GRADE 7 CONCERT BAND,
GRADE 8 CONCERT BAND,
JAZZ BAND.
Welcome to the GMS Bands webpage! Here you will be able to find pertinent information related to the bands here at GMS. We strive for excellence within the band program by focusing on honing the fundamentals of playing an instrument within a rehearsal setting. My goal is that this process is both rigorous and fun! By the end of a student's 8th grade year in band, my hope is that they are prepared for advanced music making at the High School level. It's going to be a great year- thank you for joining us for it!
Warm Regards,
Joseph Richey
Assistant Director of Bands
