Ross Middle School Band Program
Seventh and Eighth Grade Band
The purpose of the 7/8 band is to develop skills as a musician that have already been developed in the previous years of instruction. We will work to make a fun learning environment while still advancing our skills as musicians. Middle School Band is a very important time for students to develop skills that they will need to be members of the high school band. We will give concerts, participate in parades and community events, and a high school football game. There will also be playing tests, and in-class assignments to achieve our goals. At Ross Middle School it is possible to participate in both band and choir, as they meet separate periods of the school day.
Band Schedule
The full band will rehearse everyday with concentrated pull-out sectionals for additional instruction.
