Band Program 2021-2022

IntroductionItasca District 10 is committed to providing its students with a well‐rounded, liberal arts education. For that reason, it has supported performance­‐based music programs throughout its history. These programs include band, an elective class with a curriculum that meets state and national standards for music education. In band, students share and bring to life musical works through the expressive playing of wind and percussion instruments. Unlike other extracurricular activities, band is a structured class with targeted learning outcomes. As a result, students who put forth consistent effort with faithful attendance will develop a lifelong love of music, as well as the skills necessary to share this deeply human art form with others.
Mission StatementIt is the mission of the District 10 band program to provide a quality music education in a nurturing environment that promotes collaboration and creative thinking. The band program exists to foster aesthetic growth as an essential part of a child’s total education. The band program is dedicated to developing the highest level of musicianship through a comprehensive curriculum, in keeping with each child’s interests, needs and abilities.
Long Range Goals
  • To artistically share performance-based music composed in a variety of styles and forms
  • To gain musical knowledge, to improve musical skills, and to engage in musical thinking
  • To be ambassadors of musicianship
  • To prepare for advanced-level music making while developing a lifelong love of music

RecruitmentRecruitment occurs each September at Franzen Intermediate School and involves students in grade 5. While middle school students may join band late, they must first achieve a prescribed level of proficiency on an approved instrument before being assigned to an ensemble. To reach the necessary level of proficiency, outside private lessons are often necessary.
