Band is for students currently in 3rd, 4th and 5th Grades at Schallenberger, taught by Mr. Harry Reed and his son.

Instruments: Choices are flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet and percussion. Each student will need to purchase or rent their own instrument and should bring it to the first day of practice. At the start of the year, there is an instrument rental night at school hosted by Park Avenue Music store if you are interested in renting or picking up other band supplies (music stands, books, reeds, etc.). Instruments can be rented on the spot and taken home that night.
Practice: Band students will attend three practice sessions a week, held on campus before school from 7:20-8:10am on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. Monday and Tuesday will be in Room 13, and Thursday will be in the cafeteria. Practice starts Sept 2nd for the 2014-15 school year.
