Your fifth grade child is invited to participate in the Randolph Elementary School Band Program! Randolph Public Schools offers a tremendous instrumental music program for students beginning in fifth grade. At the elementary level, the band program includes individual lessons, full band rehearsals and concerts. Beyond elementary school, students also have amazing opportunities to participate in ensembles including jazz band and pep band and take part in festivals, honor bands and unique travel experiences.
Randolph Public Schools provides free class instruction to all interested fifth grade students on flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone, tuba, or percussion. Elementary band classes meet twice a week (Tuesday and Thursday) during the regular school day and are open to students at all levels of proficiency, including the beginning level.
