About South Middle School Band

7th Grade Band Concert Band
Seventh grade band is different than beginning band. Students focus more on sheet music to prepare for concerts instead of only working in the book. You will spend more time working as a full band instead of only by instrument.
Seventh Grade band members perform in the Worlds of Fun Music Festival. Typically, we perform in the morning and spend the rest of the day playing in the park with friends.
8th Grade Band Symphonic Band
