8th Grade Night!
8th Grade Night is a LOT of fun. 8th graders get to perform with the high school marching band at a football game. This is not only a fun experience, but the students get a picture of "a day in the life of high school band."
Many colleges look for commitment to something when they are evaluating college applications. Staying in band from 6th grade through 12th grade represents a 7 year commitment. Most non-music students do not arrive at college with that much clout on their application. In a world that is becoming more globally competitive, band is a fun way to get ahead of the competition. Plus, joining high school band gets you great sunsets! Check our photos below!
