Prerequisite: Successful completion of a band program in the previous year or admission through audition
Band courses are a continuation of the acquisition of performance skills on woodwind, brass and percussion instruments. Students study the basic elements of music and its history through performance and discussion of a variety of music. Students can expect to perform many styles of music including Rock, Pop, Jazz, Classical, Broadway and World Music material. Regular home practice and an instrument are essential for success.
Participation in co-curricular band is part of the course. With permission from the instructor, students with no previous experience are welcome to join the program at any junior grade level. Private lessons and/or participation in summer band are recommended to ease the transition. Please contact the band director for further details.
