MISD students have the opportunity to join band in the 6th grade. Students are enrolled in classes based on their instrument selection at the end of 5th grade and/or beginning of 6th grade. Students will learn the basic fundamentals of posture, hand position, proper breathing and individual performance skills. Students are enrolled in homogeneous groupings of instruments and will come together at the end of the year with all 6th grade band students for an end-of-the-year spring concert.

Middle School

While continuing to strengthen fundamental skills, middle school students expand their knowledge of music through participation in TMEA All-Region Auditions, Solo & Ensemble and the UIL Concert & Sight-Reading Evaluation. Students audition and are placed in ability level groups such as; varsity, non-varisty, and sub non-varisty ensembles. The band will perform in several events throughout the year, such as; pep rallies, football games, winter and spring concerts and various festivals.
