Sixth Grade Band

The Sixth Grade Band at Indian Trail Junior High is divided into three separate classes, the Green Band (clarinets & percussion), the White Band (flute,oboe, & saxophone), and the Purple Band (brass). Splitting the band up during the school day allows for more individualized attention for each student in the class. All three classes, however, combine for concerts as the Sixth Grade Band.

In addition to daily band rehearsals, 6th grade students are required to attend one small group lesson per week, during lunch. These "lunch lessons" give students the opportunity to focus on and receive help with problems and challenges they are currently facing with their playing. The Sixth Grade Band performs in three concerts during the year, and the members are also eligible to participate in the Illinois Grade School Music Association's Solo and Ensemble Contest. Sixth Grade Band students are also eligible to audition for $100 music scholarships, sponsored by the Addison Music Parents, to be used towards the cost of private music lessons or Summer Music Lessons.
