Mt. Pleasant
5th Grade Band
Welcome to Band!
We are excited that you are interested in this musical opportunity for your child!
Our Band Sign-up Night is Tuesday, May 26th at the Middle School band room. Please read through all the information in this website if you want more information prior to that evening. If you can't make it to the sign-up night, the band registration link will open up the afternoon of Tuesday, May 26th. After that day, when you're ready, click "SIGN-UP!" above to register your child for 5th grade band. Please contact me at the email below if you have any questions!
Our band program has a variety of fun and rewarding musical experiences to offer your child, grades 5 through 12. There are concert bands grades 5-12 and jazz bands from grades 7-12. Your child can participate in public performances, honor bands, color guard, trips, solo/ensemble contests, festivals, high school All-State auditions, marching band contests, pep bands and individualized lessons. Now is the time for your child to consider becoming a part of this successful and active part of our Mt. Pleasant Bands!
Recent research supports a multitude of positive academic affects that music has on students of all ages. Participation in a band program offers opportunities for your child to develop: self-confidence, self-discipline, responsibility, music reading skills, higher-order thinking skills, eye-hand coordination, hands-on appreciation of music, precision, teamwork, problem solving, perseverance, organizational skills, a higher level of focus, and yes, it's fun!
I look forward to helping your child grow as a student and a musician. Thank you for considering the Mt. Pleasant Band Program and the life long benefits of instrumental music for your child!
I hope to see you all at Band Sign-up Night on Tuesday, May 26th between 4 and 5:30pm at the Middle School band room!
Sincerely,
Miss Westfall - 5th and 6th Grade Band Director
