5th Band Schedule

5th Grade BAND at ZCS--WHEN do we meet?

For those of you who have not been involved with band at ZCS before, our schedule is somewhat unique. Each week, your student's band experience will consist of one 50-55 minute class of LIKE INSTRUMENTS meeting together. Each of these classes takes place on a different day of the week at the MIDDLE SCHOOL start time--yes that means getting your student to ZCS by 7:40 am! A tentative schedule of days for these classes is:

Monday--Flute Class

Tuesday--Clarinet Class (and later saxes)

Wednesday--Trumpet Class (and later French horns)

Thursday--Low Brass Class (Trombones, Baritones, Tubas)

Friday--Percussion Class

A SECOND meeting for all band students together (a band rehearsal) is scheduled for Thursday afternoon! I'm excited about adding one more band period per week, and by moving it to the afternoon, I have another morning class time freed up. Full disclosure here--the Thursday afternoon time runs over afternoon recess. I'm hoping students are willing to sacrifice that time for the fun of having band all together. Also, it will limit the early transportation challenges to ONE day per week.

So, to repeat, each student meets once in the early morning by sections, and the entire band meets once per week on Thursday afternoon. I'm excited about next year!
