Danville MS Wolf Band

Greetings!

Hey awesome Wolf Band Families! We had another good week of progress in all of our classes. Beginning Band is working on making sounds and learning more about their instruments. The advanced bands had a great Friday Night as we joined the DHS Band for our Wolf Pack Band Night! It was a fun and successful evening! Way to go Band!

"I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy; but most importantly music, for the patterns in music and all the arts are the keys to learning."

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.
