We are excited to announce our annual Band Expo Nights, where all 5th grade students are encouraged to attend and explore their options for beginning band. This event provides an excellent opportunity for students to get a more solidified idea of which instrument they would like to pursue in beginning band.
This year, we will be holding two sessions:
Mesa Middle School – January 28th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Lynn Middle School – January 30th from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
All sessions will begin promptly at 6:00 PM with a demonstration and an explanation of the instrument selection process. Promptness is essential, as it ensures that students will not miss any of the important information or demonstrations.
During these sessions, students will have the chance to be individually tested by community experts, which will help streamline the instrument selection process as they enter the upcoming school year.
