Overview

Six band classes (Instrument specific 6th grade classes,

7th, 8th grade band, and combined 7th/8th grade Wind

Ensemble (Advanced Band).

Approximately 175 students are enrolled in band this

year.

A fantastic class that has potential to continue for up to

7 consecutive years (all the way into high school).

Opportunities for Band Students

School

Middle School Marching Band Night – 7th and 8th

graders join the MPHS marching band for a football

game and halftime performance.

Peer mentoring program – Both by advanced 7/8th

grade students and by students from MPHS.

Chances to perform in district and all state band

festivals

Bands perform at state band festivals and travel to

California to perform.

Instruments and how to

join

We start 6th graders on all band instruments (Flute,

Clarinet, Saxophone, Oboe, Bassoon, Trumpet, Horn,

Trombone, Euphonium, Tuba and Percussion).

We will be visiting schools to discuss instruments with

kids, and to discuss tryout sessions.

No need to know what you want to play. Sign up and we

will find that out together.

No experience needed. 95 percent of students enrolled

in band had never played an instrument before 6th

grade band.
