Who Are We?
The 8th grade band is made up of third and fourth year players. We will spend the year refining our ensemble and individual technique in preparation for the 9th grade band. We will also expand our range and our music vocabulary.

Playing Tests
What and Why?Playing Tests are designed to help the students grow individually. Each band at Les Bois will have a weekly playing test over scales, rhythms, or concert music. This material will be covered in class, but students are expected to put the practice time in at home so that the ensemble as a group can grow. Below you will find the rubric for the playing test.
