Beginning BandThis is where it all begins! The beginning band is open to all students entering 6th or 7th grade at Brogden Middle School with no prior band experience. We highly recommend starting in 6th grade. Beginning classes are offered for flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, and percussion. Even more instruments are available in the second year of playing. Students will learn basic music theory and will explore how to play a musical instrument. Students will be have many performance opportunities throughout the year.
