Daily Classtime Bands:
Beginner Bands (6th grades, meets during school every day; BEGINS IN JANUARY) perform in quarterly band concerts, as well as for other student events. No musical skill or experience is required to join this class! Just fill out the “Join the Band” form on
Intermediate Band (students that passed one year of beginner band class) perform at quarterly concerts and the 27J Band Festival (school day field trip), with potential for other performances and band festivals.
Symphonic Band (8th Grade Band, meets during school every day) performs at quarterly concerts, takes a field trip around Commerce City for a day of performing Holiday Music at various venues, and plays at the Canon City Music and Blossom Festival in May with potential for other performances and band festivals.
Optional After-School:
The Jazz Band (Wednesdays 4:40 - 6:00PM) is an after-school performance group for intermediate/advanced band members to rehearse and perform jazz. They perform at quarterly concerts, perform at the Solo/Ensemble Festival and the CCMBF, and more!
Occasionally our ragtag crew of Pep Band personnel (volunteer 8th, 7th and select 6th grade band students) assemble to support one of our sporting events. We rehearse the day of the event in the band room immediately after school then transition to the event by 5PM. Sporting events are unpredictable and therefore timing varies, but we usually finish by 6:30pm. These dates are announced during class usually a week or two before they are to occur.
Mr Roach is available by appointment for meetings, tutoring, and more on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 8:15am - 8:30am and 4:32pm - 5:00pm. There are five practice rooms available for students to reserve during these times for recordings and/or practice.
