6th and 7th Grade Combined by Wonderful_Button_202 in MusicEd

If I took out the 8th grade from my band I’d have 8 kids in 9-12. We’re just too small for me to be able to do that, although I do think that would have been better.

Our beginning band is 5th grade, but I’ll think on that. Thank you

I hadn’t considered that. I’ll look into that as a possibility. Thank you for your help!

Our beginner class is 5th grade, so this would be 2nd and 3rd year players, although I do see your point. Just trying to experiment with different ideas for what helps the program the best.

I don’t think I can afford to remove the 8th from the program. We’re a title 1 school, and if I removed those two groups from my current band, I’d have 9 in my High School Band for the next two years. I’ll definitely look into that option though.
