The Band Program is offered to interested students in grades 5-8. The focus is to develop the individual players to the best of their ability. A full band experience is given, which focuses on using learned skills, playing music of different styles and cultures. Wind and percussion instruments of the concert band are taught at OLMC. In addition to the band experience, students are given the opportunity to play solos and ensembles for contest and other events. Students will enjoy making music, and making new friends. All band members have a regularly scheduled lesson each week, plus a one hour practice with either beginning or advanced band depending upon their skill level.
