Solo/Ensemble Project

All students are currently working on either a solo, or in a group in preparation for our "KMS Solo/Ensemble Project Performance". This is a class project in which students are learning ensemble pieces with classmates, and then they will perform these pieces in class. Students have signed up in their groups, and will begin rehearsing these pieces in class. I've also suggested that they take this music home to practice as well!

Performances will be in class the week of: Feb.12^th

KMS Jazz Band

We will be meeting this Friday, Jan.19th during 4th period! All students are welcome to come join in on the fun! We are looking forward to jamming on some great tunes! We will have an online Jazz Band T-Shirt order soon!

KMS Band Lessons

Lessons can be one of the best ways to get better at your instrument! Getting questions answered, or even getting a new challenge is a wonderful motivator for all students!

KMS Band students have the opportunity to take part in band lessons for FREE by simply filling out this online form. KMS band students will be connected to a TWHS Band member to begin your lessons! Lessons will take place at KMS after school once a week ( Students can choose the best day that works for them) from 3:45-4:15pm. Once forms are filled out, I will write you an email, and connect you with your TWHS Band mentor!
