About Beginning Band
District 123 students are eligible to join Beginning Band in 5th grade. Students learn the fundamentals of playing a band instrument and playing in an ensemble. Students receive a group lesson at their home school once a week and must attend before school band rehearsal at OLHMS. Students are expected to practice at home at least five days a week, 20-30 minutes each day and must attend all performances.
Lessons and BandLessons will begin after labor day. Students renting an instrument through Quinlan and Fabish will receive their instrument and any supplies that were ordered at the first lesson.
Additionally, students must attend morning band rehearsal every Tuesday & Friday, starting October. |
TransportationBecause Beginning band is held at Oak Lawn-Hometown Middle School, bus transportation is provided for each morning session.
(Important: There is not a bus that picks up Sward students. There will, however, be a bus that takes students back to Sward following morning band practice.) |
