Starting in fourth grade, students have the opportunity to sign up to participate in Band. Members of the Beginner Band start to explore the elements of instrumental music performance associated with tone, technique, notes, rhythm, embouchure, articulation, intonation, balance, blend and tempo through the performance of quality band repertoire composed by respected composers and arrangers. As students move into fifth and sixth grade, they continue to learn these elements of music in Intermediate Band. These ensembles work to achieve the highest standards of musical excellence, and perform at least two public concerts each year.
