Learn More about the Band Program!
The West Wilkes Band Program serves students and our community through giving students the opportunity to learn and perform as a member of the West Wilkes Band Program. Most students join the beginning of their 6th grade year . In 6th grade classes students will explore which instrument is the students best choice to select and be successful in playing. The Band Director will assist students through various lessons in helping choose their best instrument. after Joining Band student will participate in an Instrument Night where students and parents will finalize their instrument selection and get more information on how to obtain an instrument.
INSTRUMENT NIGHT Info
The Band program will sponsor an Instrument Night in the spring and in the fall. During this event students will be able to try out instruments, find out more about the program, and learn how to decide which instrument to play next year. Our local instrument support group MUSIC & ARTS will be available to explain their rent-to-own program and Mr. Dauer will be available to assign select and limited school instruments and answer any questions you may have. Parents and students who attend in the Spring will receive their instruments in the fall at the start of school and may have a head start before the students who attend and order instruments during the Fall Meeting. Please attend to the instrument brands mention at the meeting and in the Band Manual below. Students who purchase outside of the brands required by the class may not be able to play those instruments in our program. Some inferior instruments will not be repaired and cannot play in tune with the recommended horns. Please confer with Mr. Dauer before spending money on an instrument outside of the allowed instrument brands. If you have questions or want Mr. Dauer to assess and older instrument before you purchase he will be glad to help out. please email Mr. Dauer with any questions.
