About 4th Grade Band
At the end of year, I visit the third grade classrooms to discuss the band program and responsibilities of band students. It's fun playing an instrument, but it is a lot of hard work!
Many of you would like to be in band, but we don't have enough instruments for everyone. There will be a test that everyone has to take who wants to be in band. I also talk to your teacher to make sure you are a good student and have been doing a good job in the classroom. If you do well on the test, and your teacher gives me a good recommendation, I will ask you to come down to the band room. We will try different instruments. Sometimes, it will be easy to find an instrument. Sometimes, you may not be able to get any sound out of any instrument. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't play an instrument. It might just mean that you shouldn't play a band instrument right now. Sometimes it might be another instrument that you will be good at - maybe violin, piano, or singing.
