What is Band?
Message from the director:
Hi everyone, the St. Leos' Band has had a long history of educating students in instrumental music. The focus of our program is to start students correctly at a young age in order that they develop into aspiring young musicians. Our 1st year beginners (primarily 4th grade or any grade level) start learning the instrument with a focus on mastering the instrument and learning to read music. Various types are concerts are always planned throughout the school year, such as zoom events, school concerts, andband performance for the parents. Be a member of the St. Leos' Band by starting in September, and be sure to watch all of the helpful videos in Be Part of the Music.
