As a 5th grade student, your child finally has the opportunity to do what so many successful students have done before them, Be Part of the Band! Every destination starts with a decision to embark on a journey. Now is the time to start your child in music and the Jackson County 5th grade Band program is the place to do it.
We will host 3 parent meetings to allow students to test out instruments and answer any questions you have about participating in Band. You may come at any point during the times listed. Students will be tested on a first come, first served basis.
