Students are invited to begin participating in the Mounds View Public Schools band  program the summer after fourth grade. The summer band program offers students an opportunity to start their learning of a band instrument with frequent instruction and small class sizes. Delivered in a series of 45-minute lessons spanning four weeks, students receive personalized instruction in a small-group setting. At the end of the program, students perform their first band concert.

Participants can sign up for any section time or location that works best for them.

There will also be an opportunity to start band in the fall of fifth grade for students who cannot participate in the summer program.

Please note: Beginning Band enrollment will open Feb 21 at 9am.  Sections will not be visible searchable until that time.
