A Special message from Mr. Graham:
Next year we are starting a new beginning band class that is available for anyone! This does not require any prior experience playing an instrument. You will most likely need to rent an instrument. In this class, you will learn the basics of playing a wind or percussion instrument and have the opportunity to audition for the Marching Band, Concert Bands, and Jazz Band. Participation in the band program will require director approval based on an ability test.
This is a great way to learn an instrument, make friends, and join the band family!
Please enroll in Introduction to Music Performance #1300350 if you are interested in learning an instrument and joining the band!
If you have any questions, please email me! jugraham@hardee.k12.fl.us
