Band students in grades 5 and 6 are invited to participate in the band trip to the Darien Lake Music Competition. Students must pass their final band playing exam with a score of atleast 65% in order to go to the competition. This year's trip date has not yet been scheduled. On the day of the trip, we will be leaving on buses during the school day, and students will need to be picked up from school later that evening. The 5th and 6th grade bands compete at that day's music competition. The bands are ranked against other bands in their performance category. We will begin fundraising in January of 2020 to help cover the cost of the trip. More information will be sent home about the trip as the school year progresses.
