Do I have to already play an instrument in order to join Band?
Our Beginning Band is in 6th Grade. No previous experience is necessary. We have awesome music teachers at our feeder elementary schools, so most 6th graders have the basics they need to get started.7th and 8th Grade Band is totally different. Each year builds on the previous one, so a student cannot be in 7th or 8th Grade Band unless they already know how to play a band instrument Back to Top

Does the school provide all the instruments?
No. Most studnents will need to rent or buy their own instruments. Our county school system provides only those instruments that are exceptionally large, exceptionally expensive (generally over $1500) or non-portable (i.e.-percussion instruments in the band room) Back to Top
