We are excited about our future 6th grade class and the upcoming school year!  We will do our best to answer any questions you have at anytime regarding band or the transition into middle school.  Band is the largest elective class offered in 6th grade with 50% of the total sixth grade class.  We know your child will have a friend or two (...or three... or twelve) in band!  Below are just a few of the great reasons you and your family should consider band in 6th grade;

• There are NO MUSICAL requirements to sign up for band.  
• You can be in band and ANY other activity on campus (athletics, NJHS, STUCO, Cheerleading, etc)
• You wil have friends in band.  You will make even more friends in band!
• We have lots of choices!  Once you mark band #1 on your schedule you can choose between Flute, Oboe, Bassoon, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet, Horn, Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba, and Percussion!
• We have scholarships and reduced rental fees available if your family is concerned about the cost of band.
• Band students travel and perform thorought the year for concerts, contests, or just for fun!
• Students receive individual attention on a DAILY basis from one of the directors or lesson staff.  (average beginning band class size is only 8)
