Meyzeek Middle School Bands
BEGINNING BAND
Congratulations on your choice to join the
Meyzeek Middle School Band Family!
It might not seem like it now, but joining a school band is one of the best possible decisions a person can make. Years from now, you will remember the people, places, music, and events of these days.
Because of your experiences in band, you will have doors opened to you that you can't yet imagine. Because of band, the lives of my parents, myself, my wife, and my daughter are all VASTLY different. Music will make your other classes easier, help to make you WANT to come to school in the morning (I know...believe it or not!), and make you a MUCH sought after person when applying to your dream high school, college, or career.
Parents, the first few weeks are going to be filled with many firsts. There will be LOTS of questions (check out the "FAQ" page of our Site), all of which will be answered for your Bandlings during class, on this Web Site, and in our Band Handbook.
The first questions usually center around WHICH instrument to play, WHERE to get it, HOW to get it to school and back so that they can practice, and HOW MUCH all this will cost! I do everything that I can to make this as affordable as possible. We don't require private lessons (although they are STRONGLY encouraged!), we don't have after school practices but once or twice a year, we have low fees, and only run one major fundraiser per year.
I've been a band parent as well...I GET it! Life can be a LOT at times. This Web Site will be your BEST FRIEND!!!
