Band

About the Program

The Hoover Band program is comprised of two performing ensembles; Beginning Band and Advanced Band. Students can learn any of the standard band instruments including flute, oboe, clarinet, bass clarinet, alto, tenor and baritone saxophone, French horn, trumpet, trombone, baritone horn, tuba and percussion.

Through participation in these classes, students work towards mastery of local and national standards for music education. Students learn the basics of reading musical notation, instrument performance and group performance skills. Students also learn about music history and various aspects of cultural music.

During their time in these ensembles, students gain skills and abilities that will prepare them for high school music ensembles. Students in each ensemble will perform in one evening performance each semester. Advanced Band students may perform at other school activities, as well.
