Learning in action
5th Grade Band Program
At MPES we are dedicated to developing the whole child. In an effort to give students a real opportunity to explore music, each 5th grade student is issued an instrument to use (free of charge) for the school year. Please click on the link below and fill out the User Agreement form. This form will provide us with the necessary information to keep you informed and your student successful in band. Each band parent and student in 5th grade must read and fill out the User Agreement form.
5th Grade After School Band Program
After School Band (ASB) begins Monday, October 21st and will be held every Monday from 3:15 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Students interested in playing their instruments in a band (group) setting and improving their performance skills are invited to register. This is not a substitute for private one-on-one lessons nor requirement for participation in band, it is a free, voluntary music enrichment experience. For the first time, bus transportation will be offered to all ASB participants.
We look forward to another success year of ASB! Please contact Mrs. Wever with any questions you have about ASB registration or participation.
Click on the button below to sign your 5th grader up!
Registration will end on Friday, September 27th.

The application is open and available for all families to see if they qualify. The paperwork needs to be completed in the first 30 days of school.
