Welcome to band! I am Mr. Ogren, and this is my third year teaching, but my first at Lakeridge Junior High School. The school has just switched from being a 7/8 grade school last year, to 6th through 8th grade this year. I teach 6th grade General Music, 7/8 Choir, Intermediate and Advanced Bands, Guitar, and World Drumming. Having the 6th graders join our school has been great for our music programs. Last year if 6th graders wanted to try out beginning band, they had to take it as a before-school activity. Now, since it is held during the school day, the amount of students taking band has doubled from 30 to 60! This also means than we go through our supplies more rapidly, though. This is where you can help.
