Thank you to our Pullout Instructors
We would like to thank:
Perry Reid - Brass Instructor
Alex Carter - Brass Instructor
Daniel Wilhelm - Brass Instructor
Jake Coon - Percussion Instructor
Mike Kehoe - Percussion Instructor
Patty Hoover - Woodwind Instructor
John McBurney - Woodwind Instructor
In addition to our pullout staff, we are fortunate to have the high school band directors Mrs. Torres and Mr. Roush work with our kids as part of their daily teaching schedule. They rotate between us and HIJH.
We would also like to thank Mr. Schoeff, Mrs. Day, Mrs. Spangler, Ms. Shults, Mr. Bratton, and Mrs. Wiseman for the use of their spaces. Since band and orchestra meet all at once, we have 243 kids meeting at the same time. Finding space for sectional pullouts can be tricky. Certain rotations allow us to use the gym and music rooms for pullouts and we thank the administration and these teacher for their willingness to make this happen.

Class Scheduling for the 2019-2020 School Year
As we just start 2019, it is already time to start talking about the 2019-2020 School Year. Scheduling for next year will take place over the next month. We wanted to give you information regarding band options for your students.
Current 6th Graders
We have been so impressed with the year's 6th grade band and cannot wait until next year to have them participate in our junior high ensembles! Band at Fall Creek JH is quite a bit different than at the intermediate level. We have four ability based groups: Beginning Band (which is what are current 6th graders are participating in now), Concert Band, Varsity Band, and Symphonic Band. Directors will place students in the appropriate group based on this year's progress and instrumentation needs per group. All band's at FCJH are a mix of 7th and 8th grade students. ALL students receive SOAR time at the junior high. Band does not conflict with any extracurricular sport, club, or other activity. As 7th graders, students get to choose one elective, however, as 8th graders more options are available. Students who are in band as a 7th grader can still take FACS, Art, and Tech Ed as an 8th grader while continuing to play their instrument! Students can even be in band and take a semester of choir when they are in the 8th grade at Fall Creek JH!!!!! We will discuss this in detail at the concert. Please check the Incoming 7th Grade Brochure attached to the email for more information. All you need to do is put BAND on your schedule!
