Welcome to Band!
Our goal is to become the best musicians we can be and have fun doing it, so under the band section you will find videos to guide your practice and help you get better at your instrument. There are additional tools and links on the resources page.
On this page, you will find a link for videos to help you with what we are learning and if there are important updates.
Our 5th and 6th Grade Bands began the second week of school. Each student has band practice 2x a week. They are working on their first scale. This is the first 8 notes of the B Flat Concert Scale.
