About Us
Our Classes
Instrumental Music I (fall) and II (spring): Includes students in grades 9-12 who play a wind or percussion instrument. Students study music on both an individual and ensemble level through performances scattered throughout the year. Assessments are done so that students will become more masterful at their instrument and reading music each year they are in the ensemble. Students are encouraged to participate in MTSBOA Mid-State band auditions, solo and ensemble, and local honor bands.
Group Piano: Group Piano is a beginner piano course designed for students that have never played piano before and would like to learn. Students will learn how to read music and play at a beginner level by the end of the course. Students will purchase their own book but will be provided a piano each day to play and practice on. If there is space in the class, students with piano experience are welcome but must first consult with Ms. Goad.
Marching Band: This includes all high school BOP members as well as select middle school students. We have two weeks of band camp in July, then rehearse on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:45-6pm with performances at Friday night football games and Saturday competitions. The season typically lasts from July to late October/early November.
