Band Experience

This group is mainly open to sixth grade band students, although interested 7th or 8th graders may be a part. In this class, students will be introduced to the dynamics of being a part of band at the Middle/High School level (or, the Experience of Band.) Students will learn how and what to practice, how to maintain a Practice Log, proper warm-up techniques, scale and technical studies, and concert preparation. Students will have the opportunity to observe the Marching Band and Symphonic Band in action, and may also have an opportunity to play with the Marching Band at a football game.

In the spring, students in Band XP may perform at the NCCSA Elementary Fine Arts festival, and will also have an opportunity to perform at Carowinds or King’s Dominion.
