Band students rehearse twice a week: once in a private or small-group setting and once in a large concert band practice. Students meet on Mondays and Thursdays
Band is open to 4th through 8th grades. Fourth Graders are in Beginning Band, and 5th through 8th are in Advanced Band. Instruments played are trombone, trumpet, alto saxophone, clarinet, flute and percussion (drums).
The Band performs at the Christmas Program and at an outdoor concert in mid-May.
