7th and 8th Grade Band
This ensemble is comprised of all of the 7th and 8th grade band students across the woodwinds, brass, and percussion sections. Each section meets at a different time throughout the week during the course of the regular school day.
Members of this ensemble participate for 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. Returning band students should discuss instrument changes with Mr. Nesvick prior to completing the form. Please ensure your student has his/her instrument by the start of the second week of school.
7 th and 8th grade band members will perform as a large ensemble at Concert Festival, for our spring trip and at pep rallies. Students in this ensemble will aslo audition and perform for All-West as well.
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, and color guard equipment.
