Why Band?

Learning a musical instrument and participation in a quality group activity is vital to the success of each child. Beginning Band is offered as an opportunity for students to tap into unknown musical talent, to grow intellectually, and to make friends that will share a common bond throughout high school.

As your child moves into middle school and high school, it will be important for them to have a place to belong with a quality group of friends. The smartest, most talented, and most dedicated students are in the Band!

Ready To Join?

Joining Band is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

  1. Come to Instrument Petting Zoo. 
  2. Choose Band as your elective selection when the counselors help you choose classes. 
  3. Order your supplies/instrument from one of our music stores! (We will give more detailed information out about this after instrument testing. If you are worried about being able to afford Band, we have different instrument options to make sure every student that wants to plan an instrument can participate!)

That’s it!! We’ll teach you the rest!
