Houston Middle School Band

The Beginning Band consists of 6th graders with no prior musical experience necessary.  The band is divided into like-instrument classes to help maximize achievement.  In preparation for concerts, students in beginning band can expect to have a couple after school or before school rehearsals to combine together as a full band.  Beginning band students will participate in a Winter and Spring Concert, Sandy Lake Festival, and the Irving Solo and Ensemble Contest.

The Beginner Band is the first phase of a seven year program.  It is our hope that participation in the band program will foster a better understanding and appreciation of music and help students to carry with them the knowledge, skills and attitudes which will help to make them more complete members of society.
