Students who wish to be a part of the Pride of the Point Band are strongly encouraged to
begin in 6th grade due to the developmental nature of music. The band directors work with
each student individually to determine which instrument would be the best fit.
Students enrolled in 6th grade band are introduced to the fundamentals of rhythm, pitch,
instrument assembly/disassembly, forming their embouchure/technique, playing with a
characteristic tone, as well as other skills that are necessary for success as an aspiring
musician.
