5th Grade Band Appointments
 
The District 308 Beginning Band appointments are scheduled during April. The appointments are intended for students who will be enrolled in sixth grade next year (2011-12) and would like to participate in band. Sixth grade is the only time that Beginning Band is offered at the junior high level in District 308 so it is important that interested students secure an appointment now. Appointments are required for sixth-grade band registration. Appointments are made through the students’ junior high schools. The links are as follows.
