Please make sure your student has the correct Method Book for Band. If you're unsure, contact a director for book information.

Reminder...The Band Hall is open every morning for students to come practice. We frequently have organized practices/rehearsals, however, at least one of our band rooms is open for students to practice as needed. Students should be practicing their instrument daily, whether at home or during tutorials time. This should add up to at least 100 minutes of practicing per week. This is necessary for your student to continue to improve and progress appropriately through the curriculum.
