Arrow Band
Arrow Band is an intermediate band for 6th-8th graders, and is more challenging
Arrow band is the Middle School's advanced band. We play a lot harder music and do other activities outside of school. Interested students take "The Lancer Test". They must score 100 points (or more) to make Lancer Band. Those who score 100-125 are in a "trial semester". During this time weekly lessons will be used to make sure students are upholding high standards of notes, rhythm, expression and articulation. If the musical needs are not being met, students will be asked to do Cadet Band only.
This is an advanced band - with advanced expectations.
Students who score above 150 are not required to be in Cadet Band, and have the option to play a secondary instrument in Cadet Band in they choose.
Students not playing in Cadet Band will have a study hall.
Arrow band does all the extra stuff:
-Jazz band
-Holiday Music at Residence Homes
-Solo Ensemble
-Large Group Festival at the Kalahari
-Brass Choir/Woodwind Choir/Percussion Choir
