Welcome To Teague Band's Website!

Summer Band Camp is always a lot of fun for both beginning and advanced players.  We are looking forward to the next camp which will be starting on June 14, 2010.  See you there! 

Feel free to continuously check out our website for all the information you need about the band. For now, here are a few dates to mark in your calendar.

 For students who may not know… band is an elective and selective course which provides an enjoyable and educational experience for more than 300 students in grades 6 through 8. There are a total of six bands consisting of the following: three Beginning Bands, one Concert, one Symphonic, and one Jazz Band, but no matter which one a student is placed in, cooperation and teamwork is a must.

There is a beginning band meeting, orientation and instrument try-out on August 27.  NEW BAND STUDENTS (those who did not attend Summer Band Camp) - PLEASE DO NOT rent or purchase an instrument of interest prior to Thursday, August 27.   Director approval of ALL instrument selection is required.  Picking an instrument involves a great deal of preparation and consideration, not only of the students’ need, but the band’s needs as well.

Will I be able to do other things, too?

Of course!  Students in the band participate in virtually every other school and after school activities as well.  Many students in band are enrolled in advanced and gifted courses and challenging academic activities.  Teachers and administration at Teague work together to make sure that you will get everything you want out of your middle school experience.

 I hope that your membership in the Teague Band will be a rewarding and productive musical experience, and remember, no matter what you hear, band is NEVER full.

Have a great year!
