Band

Our Five Forks Band Program is a year-long class that is open to all students. During their time in band, students learn the fundamentals of music theory, how to make a sound on their instrument, sight-reading skills, and expanding their skills to improve technique on their instrument. Band students are also growing in their personal discipline, responsibility, cooperation, and building a team with their peers.
