Welcome to the Elkins Middle School Band website.  Our band program has 165 students in grades 6-8.  Our sixth and seventh grade bands each meet daily in one of two classes: Brass/Percussion or Woodwinds. The 8th grade band meets daily as a full group.  The 8th grade performs in local parades, football games and other local events.  The sixth and seventh grade bands primarily work on music fundamentals and perform at our two concert band concerts.


Welcome!

Welcome to all incoming 6th grade and returning band students.  Please check with your child to see that they brought home a copy of the grading policy, performance calendar and expectation list.  This information will go out to the 6th graders on Friday, Aug. 20th and on Monday, Aug. 23 for 7th and 8th graders.
