6th Grade Band (Period 1)

Course Description

6th Grade Band meets all year round, and is again a one year commitment. Students continue their musical studies, and expand greatly upon the foundations learned in their first year of band. They begin to add more complex pieces to music, and also start to test their endurance playing longer pieces of music. They will begin to have more opportunities to try out and/or audition for other instruments when they have demonstrated proficiency on their current instrument. They will have several opportunities to perform in concerts throughout the year. All students are expected to take their instruments home and practice! This is necessary for your student to be successful in the Durand Band Program.
