HOW TO GET STARTED IN BAND
1. The students will meet with Mr. Sorenson at the start of the 6th grade school year for an introduction to instrumental music.
2. After consultation with Mr. Sorenson, parents and students decide on the appropriate instrument.
3. Attend an evening informational meeting for parents. Check with Mr. Sorenson for specific time and date. Options for acquiring your instrument will be presented at that time.
The standard band instruments for the Coeur d'Alene School District are as follows:
Flute Trombone, Clarinet, Tuba, Saxophone , Percussion, Trumpet
If your instrument does not fit into our ensembles, contact Mr. Sorenson for further music performance opportunities. Starting band during the end of the 6th grade school year is very difficult for the student without private instruction over the summer.
The student must be enrolled in one of the core performing groups at Lakes to be eligible to be in jazz band. This is a policy among all secondary music programs in the Coeur d’Alene School District. The policy is designed to protect membership numbers in the core performing ensembles.
