Band at West Heritage Elementary School consists of sectional lessons for Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet, Trombone and Percussion. Special lessons are arranged for oboe, French horn, or other band instruments.
Band will begin for the 2008/2009 school year in early September. After students and parents have had an opportunity to discuss the instrument that they would prefer to play, the student can return the registration form requesting their instrument.
The only restrictions on what instruments can play from the list above is that flutes are limited to 8 students, and percussion are limited to 4. The reason for these limitations is to meet the requirements for a good, rounded band sound. Also, the bands at Solorio, East Heritage and West Heritage become the concert band at Heritage Intermediate, so the balance of instruments is important. Students who wish to play percussion or flute should choose an alternative. Other students do not need to do so.
Below you can find a link to download the 2003/2004 registration packet. This year's may be slightly different, but it'll be very similar.
Note: This is not the current letter, but is a reference from last year. Some dates and requirements may change
