Look forward to:

• Meeting with a band representative to choose the instrument that best fits you
• Weekly lessons
• Weekly group band rehearsals
• Three different levels of band: beginner, intermediate, and advanced
• Concerts at St. Odila at Christmas time and in the spring
• Rehearsing with other schools in the program once a week from January to March and a spectacular concert at Hill-Murray in March (this is optional, but a majority of students participate)
• Jazz Band for seventh and eighth graders, after school, weekly, from November to May with a spring concert performed at Camp Snoopy (this is optional and comprised of the most advanced musicians)
• Band trip for Advanced and Jazz Bands in March, which usually consists of a concert at another school, followed by lunch and recreation
• Solo and Ensemble Festival at Hill-Murray

Specific information on registration and parent meetings is sent home in the fall, soon after school starts. Of all schools in the band program, St. Odilia has the highest number of students participating!
