When are band placements for rising 6th graders decided? |
After the auditions |
They have auditions too?! Our first time navigating this so I thought the submitted videos were the ‘audition’. |
OP here: yikes, I meant to say rising 7th grader in my post |
The video is the audition. We got an email before the end of the school year. |
Thanks! |
I have a seventh grader in band - she didn’t find out until she got her schedule right before school. |
My 6th grader auditioned in person a few weeks ago. We haven't heard anything yet. |
It varies from school to school. Some teachers visit schools and do in-person auditions. Some do video. I believe they also talk to the current teachers to get input about students. |
Do kids still really do band?????????? It seems like it's nerds only. |
Yes, both nerds and non-nerds do band. |
The College Entrance Examination Board found that students involved in public school music programs scored 107 points higher on the SATs than students with no participation. |
Pp is out of touch. My kid loves band. MS incentives it with a trip to Busch Gardens. |
Band kids have unapparelled discipline. And their sense of community and support is also exemplary. No other kids have these traits. |
