On Saturday, March 30, ISB will hold its annual Beginning Band Drive for current grade 5 students who have signed up for band next year, and current grade 4 students who wish to take private lessons next year on a band instrument. During the Beginning Band Drive, students can try out many different band instruments with the help of experts to find out which instrument they may enjoy and which instrument best suits them. Band instruments include: flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, French horn, trombone, euphonium, tuba and percussion (drums and mallets).
The ISB Middle School Band program has a reputation as being one of the finest in international schools. This year for the 9th year in a row, and for the 12th out of the past 13 years, ISB has sent more students than any other school to the prestigious AMIS Asian Middle School Honor Band Festival. Student musicians audition for this festival through a rigorous blind audition process, competing with all other IASAS schools as well as international schools in South Korea, China and Japan. Students that were accepted have performed in many countries in Asia and Europe.
To take part in the Beginning Band Drive on March 30, please sign up using the Google form that can be found here. It includes specific time/sign-up information. Finding the right instrument that best suits your child is a very important process.
