Beginning Band
Band Classes
Beginning Band is available to all 4th, 5th & 6th Grade students in the Douglas County HS feeder area. In this class, students will learn how to assemble, care for, and begin to play an instrument. No previous instruction is required. In band, students can learn to play woodwinds (flutes, oboes, clarinets, saxophones, bassoons) brass (trumpets, french horns, trombones, euphoniums/baritones, tubas) or percussion (snare drums, bells, and auxiliary percussion).
Intermediate Band
Intermediate Band is typically available to all 4th, 5th & 6th Grade students in the Douglas County HS feeder area. In this class, students would build on their fundamental skills and learn to play more complex music in a variety of styles. Previous experience, such as a completed year of Beginning Band, would be required.
However, since there hasn't been a program in these schools in a few years, we only plan to officially offer beginning classes this year. If your child is intermediate level, please have a conversation with the teacher and see if your child could be included with the beginners.
