For Sixth Grade Band

All sixth grade band members perform in two concerts.  The first concert is our winter concert in December.  The second concert is our spring concert in May.  Students that have passed off their music, and have not had excessive discipline refferals are qualified to go to a third performance, the Spring Band Festival.    At this fetival, students perform as a full band, and may be selected to also perform a solo and/or ensemble.
