Students in 7th
and 8th grade with at least two years Elementary Band
experience can participate in the Junior High Band
which meets every other day (M Days), fourth period. This ensemble
has three scheduled performances throughout the year (Winter, Pops,
Spring concerts) and also the Memorial Day Parade and Graduation.
Each student attends one group lesson per week that is on a rotating
lesson schedule. Each lesson group meets on the same day of the
week but on a different period, and students will only miss the same
class twice during a marking period. Students also have the
opportunity to perform in co-curricular musical activities including
All-County Band, NYSSMA Solo Festival, Jazz Band, and Pep
Band.
