Band and Orchestra Enrollment for 4th and 5th Grade Students

During April, information about enrolling for band (trombone, trumpet, clarinet, flute) and orchestra (cello, viola, or violin) is being distributed to 4th and 5th grade students. Parents and students are invited to attend one of the enrollment meetings (below), where the instruments will be demonstrated and more information will be available. Parents and students should try to attend the meeting at their neighborhood junior high, but can attend whichever meeting works best:

• Addams Junior High – Monday, April 25 (7:00 pm)
• Mead Junior High – Monday, April 25 (7:00 pm)
• Eisenhower Junior High – Tuesday, April 26 (7:00 pm)
• Frost Junior High – Wednesday, April 27 (7:00 pm)
• Keller Junior High – Wednesday, April 27 (7:00 pm)

No previous music experience is necessary to play an instrument. Band and orchestra lessons will start at the beginning of next school year.  If you have any questions, please visit this link or contact the band or orchestra teacher at your school.

For school year 2022-23, District 54 is pleased to offer beginning instruction on band and orchestra instruments to students in fifth and sixth grade! The Instrumental Music Program provides students with one weekly lesson during the school day and one weekly after-school rehearsal at their neighborhood junior high.
