The Band elective is a large ensemble performance class made up of experienced (2 years minimum) woodwinds, brass, percussion, and select strings and keyboards (with teacher approval). There will be at least three performances a year. Enrollment is up to the teacher's discretion. Regular practice and owning/renting a quality instrument in good playing condition are required. Percussion needs to have a practice pad and sticks for home practice. This course will prepare students for high school-level performance.
