Rising 5th and 6th Grade Students at King George Elementary, Potomac Elementary and Sealston Elementary can sign up for Beginner Band through September 2019.

Here is a link to the Beginner Band Sign Up Form. Please fill out the form and email it back to gconner@kgcs.k12.va.us

Please go to either KBI Music or Roberson's Music in Fredericksburg, Virginia (or an equivalent music store) to try out flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, baritone, trombone and bells.  After the music store representative helps you pick the correct instrument for your child rent an instrument and purchase the "Traditions of Excellence" Book 1 for the instrument they will be renting. 

Please do not purchase instruments over the internet or from an individual before coming to an Instrument Preview Event for the following reasons.

1.                          Many instruments on line are very cheap/poorly made and do not play well or last long.  I will let you know which instrument brands are reputable at the Preview. 

2.                          Some kids have their heart set on a certain instrument, but when they come to the preview they either can’t get a sound on that instrument or they actually like another instrument better.

Tuesday, August 13, 6:15 p.m. at KG High School Band room

Wednesday, August 14, 6:15 p.m. at KGHS Band room
