We welcome all 5th and 6th graders, regardless of previous music reading or instrument playing background! We have fun, meet new kids from other schools, and learn how to be part of a band. We start out with FLUTE, CLARINET, TRUMPET, TROMBONE, BARITONE, and PERCUSSION.
Beginning Band meets Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in Evergreen’s Band Room, from 8:00-8:40 AM.
