Concert Band and Choir Program at Eagle Mountain Middle
Director: Mrs. S. Ipe
Beginning Band Registration:
Interested in joining Beginning Band? You'll find a link appear below first day of school that takes you to a form to sign up and pick your instrument.
Thank you so much for your inquiry of Eagle Mountain Middle's Music Program.
We offer both Choir and Beginning Band for grade 6 students interested in participating in music.
If you are interested in joining Band, there will be a link on the home page first day of school, September 2nd, which takes you to a video and a form to fill out. The video is very important to introduce the different instruments that make up concert band and listen to each one.
First come, first serve for instrument selections. There are limited numbers of each instrument to have a balanced band.
Band is a fun way to learn a new instrument, meet new friends across the whole school, and get special opportunities to perform at school, as well as go on fieldtrips to perform at district band days.
Band Parent Information and Rental Night - Thurs. Sept. 18 from 5:30-6:30pm Long and McQuade will be there for your convenience and will have rental forms for you to fill out there. Some instruments will be there to see and listen to in person.
Instruments will be delivered to EMM on Tuesday, Sept. 23rd in time for Squeeks and Squawks at 6 – 7:30pm
What is Squeeks and Squawks? Your child will be tutored by Heritage Woods Secondary students, learning how to make a sound on their instrument, the fingerings to their first 3-5 notes and how to care for their instrument. We want your beginning musician to start on the right foot! After 1 hour of tutoring, all the Beginning Band students come together in the gym for their very first "Squeeks and Squawks" performance! Tues. Sept 23 from 6:00 - 7:30. Parents are invited in the gym at 7pm for the "concert".
