Ready to make some music and new friends? Join the Apex Middle School Band Program!
If you’re a 6th grader, you can start your band journey here by choosing from four beginner instruments: flute, clarinet, trumpet, or trombone. Already have band experience from another school or take private lessons? You can join too, even if you're not in 6th grade! As you progress, you’ll have the chance to learn more instruments like French Horn, saxophone, and percussion.
Our program features four ensembles:
6th Grade Band — perfect for beginners starting on core instruments.
7th Grade Band & 8th Grade Band — where students refine their skills and get to attend exciting field trips, including music competitions and trips to Busch Gardens.
Jazz Band — an audition-based group open to any instrument, meeting during WIN time. You don’t have to be in band to join jazz band! This group performs at jazz festivals and elementary schools, bringing a cool, jazzy vibe to the community.
Whether you’re new to band or a seasoned player, there’s a place for you to grow and shine at AMS!
