Welcome to 5th-Grade Band!
During our time together in Music Specials, your student will be introduced to the band instrument choices for this year: flute, clarinet, trumpet, and trombone. The students will have the opportunity to audition to switch to other instruments (saxophone, percussion, etc.) at a later date.
5th Grade Band will begin September 5th
What do we do now?
- Acquire an instrument. If you own an instrument, please make sure it is in good working order. If you are interested in instrument rentals, we have provided links to a few companies that we recommend.
