Band

Welcome to Grade 5 Band! You will be in band for the first half of the 2011-2012 school year. Now that you have your instrument, we are ready to play!

September 19 was the first day of our practice challenge: Who can practice for 100 days of band?! Remember, practice sessions must be at least 15 minutes in length (class does not count) and parents must sign your calendar weekly.

First solo playing is this week - September 26! Practice and prepare exercise 5, 6 or 7 to play for the class!

If you would like to practice with some additional assistance, listen to the audio files below.
