How can I be in Percussion or Jazz Ensemble?

Percussion Ensemble and Jazz Ensemble meet during Study Hall and are 
open to 7th and 8th graders. Students in these ensembles are expected
to keep up with their school and band work to participate.  If you 
are interested, please see Mrs. Scheifele for more details.

Can I switch instruments?

Sometimes there are openings for students to switch from clarinet 
to bass clarinet or saxophone to tenor or bari at the middle 
school. It is recommended that all other students stick with the 
instrument they chose to start on. Students have worked hard to 
learn that instrument, and switching causes the student to fall 
behind the rest of the band.
