Fall Scheduling For 7th Grade

Dear Parents and Students, We hope that all of you are doing well and being safe in these trying times.  As we look forward to next year we are trying to put together our schedule for classes.  In 7th Grade Band we have full band classes meaning brass, woodwind, and percussion would all be in the same class together.  In combining all of the students we place them into classes based on auditions at the end of the year.  These auditions include scales, prepared music, and sight reading.  If you are interested in being considered for the Symphonic class please indicate this on the form attached, anyone not taking an audition will automatically be placed in the Concert class.  We have attached a form to fill out for our schedule for next year, all students need to complete this form. bit.ly/Rising7thGrade          Thank You, Matt Segars      Selena Sanchez

7th and 8th Grade Band

Hello! We are looking forward to seeing you! During digital learning there will not be a split between beginning and advance band. All brass and percussionists are in one period and all woodwinds are in the other. We will return to  split level ensembles when we are back to face-to-face instruction. Please disregard the course name.  We will not be offering the double-block band option until we are back to face-to-face instruction. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email us at durhambands@gmail.com Yay Band!
