Welcome to Band!
About Beginning Band...
Beginning Band is a full year elective choice for current 5th graders enrolling in 6th grade for 2023-2024. The primary focus is on learning the fundamentals of playing an instrument, reading music, developing good practice habits, and performing in a large music ensemble. There are 2 required performances outside of the school day: Winter Concert in December & Spring Concert in May. Enrollment is open to all students. Information on Private Lessons is available upon request. |
How Do I Join?
When enrolling for classes for next year, simply choose BAND, and you're in! The instrument selection process will also be streamlined. Students can choose from any of the following instruments without prior screening. Clarinet, Trumpet, and Trombone. The only instruments requiring prior screening for selection will be Percussion and Flute. We will have an instrument testing night on March 30th from 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM @ PI. This evening will only be for students who want to play flute or percussion! |
***IMPORTANT - PLEASE NOTE***
6th Grade is the only year beginning instruction is offered for band in Piedmont. Students may not sign up for band as a beginner after 6th grade. Exceptions are made for students who move into the district, but have previously participated in their prior schools’ band program. In other words, this is the year to try it out and then decide if instrumental music is for you!!! |
Other instruments such as tuba, oboe, bassoon, saxophone, and the french horn will become available either 2nd semester or 7th grade.
