About the Band
The Junior High Band is open to all students in grades 7 & 8 and meets every-other day on the "B" days. Students in this class continue working on all aspects of ensemble playing including balance, blend, tone, intonation, rhythm, articulation, expression, dynamics, plus much more. Students will also work on ear training, listening & evaluation skills in relation to music.
In addition to regular band class, students are also required to schedule at least 3 lessons throughout the quarter but are welcome to come in for as many lessons as they please. At least three lessons must be on your primary instrument - after that, students may learn a secondary instrument of their choice. Students also have the option to participate in honor bands, band festivals and day trips throughout the year. Please see the syllabus for dates, times and more information.
Students that have not been in elementary band but are interested in joining band are more than welcome! See Mrs. Hovland for more details! Some of our most successful musicians joined in 7th or 8th grade (ex. Wyatt Schirrick).
