Band Program Information for the 2024-2025 School Year

Fourth and fifth grade students are invited to join the Beaches Campus Band! Learn to play an instrument – No previous experience needed. Participants may choose from flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, or trombone. New this year – all band students will also learn to play percussion. Students will also explore basic music theory, composition, and improvisation. The band presents two informal performances per year, and has been invited to play with the ESJ Upper School Pep Band at the Lower School Family Fun Night. The Beaches Campus Band rehearses on Wednesdays from 3:10 – 4:30 p.m. in the Music Room. The fee for this year-long program is $25, which covers the band shirt and basic music supplies. Families are responsible for providing their own instruments via rental or purchase. Register for the Beaches Campus Band with trimester one activities sign ups. For those who also play sports, we are working with the Athletic Director to coordinate a way for students to be able to do both practice and band rehearsal. We will start the band program the first week of after school activities and we will leave the option to sign up for the band through the second week in September as students learn more about this opportunity.
