6th Grade Band
This ensemble is comprised of all of the 6th grade band students across the woodwinds and brass sections. Each section meets at a different time throughout the week during the course of the regular school day.
Members of this ensemble participate in four concert performances, one near the end of each nine weeks. All sections will meet together for rehearsal once or twice after-school in the band room before each concert. The rehearsals and the concert are mandatory functions that contribute to the student's grade for band class. Students will need to wear khakis and the band jacket to each concert performance.
Instruments are assigned from those listed by the student on the class request form each year. Students will receive notification of their instrument assignment in advance of the school year and are required to secure this instrument unless otherwise noted. Instruments need not be brand new, they simply need to work, so decide what works best for your family in terms of borrowing, renting or buying. It is typically best to ensure the student's ability and desire match up with an instrument before investing too heavily.
The $100 fee for this ensemble includes the classroom instruction booklet, a brand-new band shirt, Nike band jacket, concert facility rentals, sheet music for all performances, festival and competition entrance fees, additional educational instruction for students, as well as the purchase and maintenance of band equipment, larger instruments, color guard equipment and marching uniforms.
Please contact Mr. Nesvick if you need to discuss your student's attendance, instrument assignment, progress, or any other aspect of 6th grade band.
