About 4th Grade Band 4th Grade band allows students the opportunity to learn a concert band instrument. Students have class with other students who play the same instrument, allowing them to learn and grow together. Band is a "special" activity, so students will go to their sectional rehearsal during a class once a week to have their sectional lesson. Lessons will increase to twice a week closer to our Winter and Spring Fine Arts Festivals, so that we are able to rehearse as a full ensemble before our concert.
