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!
