[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is not a class for beginning band at WL. My son is there now and they assess the kids in middle school to determine which class they belong in. 8th grade is therefore the last year one could start an instrument. [/quote] That doesn’t seem right. What if a kid moved in from somewhere band was not offered? For a school of that size, should be a place for beginners. [/quote] In Loudoun, you can't start an instrument after 6th grade. They are very clear about this in the 5th course selection process. So 8th grade seems pretty generous to me. [/quote] This is public school we are talking about. Having no beginner options in high school is ridiculous. [/quote] Ah, how cute. Will there be beginner soccer and novice basketball teams? The schools are huge, there are limited resources, and to have worthwhile participation they end up setting entry standards. [/quote]
