Welcome to Band
No previous band or instrument experience is required to join Beginning Band. Some students know precisely which instrument they want to pursue when they enroll in band, but many do not and the Band Director excels at assisting students through the process. It’s not unusual for students to begin on one instrument and eventually switch to another.
Students may need to borrow, rent, or purchase a musical instrument from an outside source; please contact the Band Director directly for assistance or with questions.
Beginning musicians learn basic instrumental technique and musical concept and apply them to their instrument alone and as part of an ensemble through rehearsal and performance. Public performances serve as a culmination of specific instructional goals.
Practice expectations: 15-20 minutes per day.
Concert attire: Black slacks, closed toe black shoes, black socks, and a white collared shirt or blouse.
