Policy
11-12 Schedule
The eighth grade band is the culmination band experience for students
at IMS, and springboard to the stellar high school band program.
Class structure is similar to the seventh grade band. Curriculum
shifts to include a greater emphasis on performance band works,
and less on technique books. Enrichment opportunities for small
ensemble playing are available for motivated students. Uniforms
will be a maroon Islander Band collared polo shirt, black colored
dress pants (no jeans please), black or dark brown dress shoes with
corresponding colored socks. Students will have periodic graded
playing tests, as well as required practice records, provided in
class. Please continue to refer to this website for periodic updates
of upcoming student requirements and performances. A course guide
will be provided to students at the beginning of school and to parents
at curriculum night. Please note the dates of performances for the
year, listed on this site. Participation at all concerts is required,
and a significantly weighted and important part of each student’s
grade.
