About
the program… The Band program at Performance groups include the 8th Grade Band
and the 7th Grade Band, under the direction of Mr. Lipari, and the
6th grade band under the direction of Mr. Frendeway. Each student enrolled in the program receives one small
group lesson per week, and three full ensemble rehearsals per week. The small group lesson schedule is
published weekly and revolves through different class periods from week to
week. The full ensemble rehearsal
schedule is fixed and alternates between ‘White’ and ‘Green’ week schedules
to accommodate students who wish to participate in orchestra or chorus in
addition to band. Participation in Jazz band is also available at LJHS,
starting later in the school year. Mr.
Lipari and Mr. Frendeway each lead a band. These ensembles rehearse before school and
are considered extra-curricular.
Should a student elect to participate in one of the jazz ensembles all
rehearsals and performances are required in order to sustain membership. We are looking forward to an exciting and very musical
year with your young musicians! Please feel free to contact us with any questions or
concerns. |
