When you join the band Neal Math and Science Academy you join a family of musicians that strive to support one another through playing music. There is no previous music experience needed to become a member! Students can participate in curricular Band, Choir or General Music. (General Music is only available to incoming 6th graders)
Students are expected to pick an instrument, practice 20 minutes daily using assigned materials and perform in concerts throughout the year!
