My Students

Our band program teaches students in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade. We have all skill levels in our band program starting with Beginning Band and progressing through Cadet Band, Intermediate Band, and Symphonic Band. We also have students in Drum Line and are trying to get a Jazz Band started as well.

Throughout the school year, our students look forward to performing in several district concerts alongside other middle schools from the district.

We also enjoy marching in the local Veteran's Day and Holiday Light parades.

My Project

Our band program has several instruments that are in dire need of new cases. Help us to protect the working instruments that we have before they are damaged!

We need to replace two cases that are falling apart and no longer close to keeping the saxophones from being damaged as they are transported to and from school and between events where our students perform.

The students will be performing at several music festivals and competitions in the second half of this school year. Your donation will help us protect our instruments as we travel to these events. We are hoping to finish the year strong!
