5th Grade Band
-
5th Grade Concert Band meets on Wednesdays at 7:45am in Room 113A and is directed by Mr. Ben Green. 5th Grade Band is open to any fifth grader who currently plays a band instrument. Students who wish to begin an instrument in 5th grade will participate in beginning band sectionals first before performing with the 5th grade band.
Concert Band is a co-curricular program. Students are graded on a letter scale: O = Outstanding, S = Satisfactory, and U = Unsatisfactory. Rehearsal attendance, sectional attendance, participation, and attitude are the contributing factors to students grades.
Sectionals refer to small group instruction that occur during the day on Wednesday. Sectionals are based on a rotating schedule so that students do not miss to much of one class. Below is an example of the schedule:
