Intermediate band is a great way to not only learn how to play an instrument, but to also make great friends and be a part of a winning organization. Everyone in our band program starts off in one of our beginner band classes where they learn the very basics of both their particular instrument as well as understanding how to read and comprehend music. It is more than okay if you have never played an instrument or read music before joining the band!
As your child progresses through our program to a 7th and 8th grade performing band, they will also get to perform in many concerts, compete in full band contests as well as individual competitions, and go on fun and exciting trips. Overall, band is a great learning experience and better yet, it is a lot of fun!
Your child will be part of a successful band program where they'll learn music, make friends, and achieve at a high level!
