An Overview of the Horizon Middle School Band Program

The band program at Horizon Middle School is designed to provide students a comprehensive music education as they participate in performance groups. The program consists of the following ensembles: 6th Grade Band, 7th Grade Band, 8th Grade Band, and Jazz Band. Involvement in these ensembles will enrich the development of fundamental musical skills, increase musical knowledge through higher level thinking, enhance the aesthetic values in music, and develop social skills (teamwork and self-discipline, and responsibility). The Horizon Bands will perform various musical styles and genres throughout the year.
