Welcome!
Thank you for visiting the Northwest Middle School Bands web site!
The Northwest Middle School
Band Program is dedicated to strong pedagogy, enjoyment of music,
collegial support, and performance of the highest caliber.
Musicianship, character, and discipline are the guiding ideals of our
efforts every day.
The musical ensembles in the
program include the 6th, 7th, and 8th
Grade Bands, the Honor Band, and numerous other chamber ensembles.
These ensembles combined perform eight to ten concerts a year.
In addition, individuals from
these ensembles successfully participate in auditions for county,
region, and state honor bands, solo and ensemble festivals, and
performing ensembles outside of Northwest.
