 | | Students begin instruction during their first year on one of the basic band instruments: flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, horn, trombone, baritone, tuba, or percussion. |
 | | In order to maintain the proper balance of instruments in the band program as well as to insure each student is matched physically and aptitudinally with an appropriate instrument, the directors will test students at the end of fifth grade and make recommendations to parents. |
 | | In 7th Grade, band members continue working to develop their skills on an individual wind instrument or on the various types of percussion instruments used in contemporary band settings. |
