Beginning Band Screenings

We are excited your child is considering joining band!

This page is for scheduling a "band screening" for you and your child to attend if your child is interested in joining band. A band screening is a time when your child tries all of the band instruments, with our help, and decides which instrument they would like to play. When you schedule an appointment you will then be sent a reminder email the day before the appointment. 

If you have any questions or problems during the sign up process, please call one of the band directors to help you out. Chuck Carlson 454-6083 or Jessica Moats at 454-6082

Please read all information carefully before signing up. 

Please choose 1 time slot. IMPORTANT: It is required that a parent or guardian be at the screening with your child. Please be on time for your child's screening as we have families scheduled back to back and classes to teach.

Band screenings take place during the school day as well as before and after school hours. If your appointment is during the school day, please meet your child in the band room. Do not meet your child at the main office. We will send a pass to your child and they will be excused from their class and will meet you in the band room to do the band screening which will take 30 minutes. 

Please avoid these dates during the school day due to field trips.
