Both beginning programs commence soon after the opening of school in the fall. Previously enrolled students who have advanced beyond the beginning level are contacted during the first week of school as to the schedule for lessons and group rehearsals. Transrer students should contact the instrumental director at the school to arrange auditions to ensure proper placement in the program. Rehearsal schedules for the various performing groups are announced by the directors in September. Beginner groups are organized as soon as the students have attained skills appropriate for ensemble playing.
Parents are responsible for transportation of students to rehearsals.
Following morning rehearsals, the district provides a shuttle to other district schools.
