Band:

St. Paul’s Band program is offered to students in grades 4-8.  The directors for our various band levels are highly qualified musicians whose primary work is at Concordia Lutheran High School (directing and conducting a number of different instrumental groups at the high school level).  They are also affiliated with other musical organizations in the community.  All band students will have group and/or private instruction 3 days/week during the school day. More detailed information for those interested in our band program is available at school registration and/or the school office.
 

Beginning Band: At the beginning of the school year, all 4^th graders are introduced to the different instrumental opportunities offered through our band program (presentation by our band directors during the school day).  With parent guidance and approval, the 4^th graders may then choose if they would like to participate in beginning band and what instrument to play. This is a very fundamental level of instruction for our students, providing the necessary foundation to continue band at the intermediate and advanced band levels.  NO INSTRUMENTAL EXPERIENCE or TRAINING is required. All 4^th graders are invited to participate.
 

Intermediate Band: This group typically consists of students in grades 5 and 6, and continues group instrumental/musical training at a noticeably higher level than beginning band.  Intermediate Band equips our students to continue at the Advanced Band level in grades 7 and 8.
 

Advanced Band: While this group is typically comprised of our more advanced instrumental musicians in grades 7 and 8, at the band director’s discretion, some younger, more proficient musicians may be invited to participate in Advanced Band.  This is a high school band preparatory program that challenges students in a wide variety of musical styles and performance levels.

All band levels participate in a Christmas and Spring Concert, as well as having the opportunity to perform at the annual fine arts festival held at Concordia Lutheran High School in Spring.
