Introduction: The band program has a beginner band (B Band) and an advanced band (A Band). Students generally spend one year in B Band then advance to A Band. Our band students are in 4th grade through 8th grade. Students generally begin band by participating in Summer Band or join the band in the fall. Our band director works with students and parents in choosing an instrument that is right for the student. Band Parent Support Organization: The Fine Arts Association is the parent support organization for St. John's Band. Parent support is critical for fundraising and operational activities. Band Fees: The band fee (payable to St.
John's School) is $100 per semester per band student, due on September 1
and February 1. The band fee pays for the band director's salary and for
operational expenses such as sheet music. |
