sixth grade center band
​
The Argyle Sixth Grade Center is the only campus that offers beginner band classes. If your students have any interest in joining band, sixth grade is the only time to do it!
​
The Beginner Band is the first step in the journey as a member of the Argyle Middle School Band. Students in the Beginner Band will enjoy instrument specific classes where they can learn to play their chosen instrument in a small-group setting. Students will learn how to properly assemble, hold, and play their instrument in a fun and progressive course designed to teach all of the skills necessary to perform concerts for your family and friends!
The Beginner Band will perform several concerts throughout the first year, as well as travel to the Beach Within Reach Band Festival to compete against bands from around the state. The Beginner Band is primarily made up of 6th grade students, but special consideration can be made on a case-by-case basis for older students interested in joining band.
​
Supplemental private lessons are available and are recommended by the directors. You can find information about each of the different instruments by clicking HERE!
​
The beginner band has many best in class trophies from the Sandy Lake Band competition, and in 2021, the Beginner Band won Best in Class at the North Texas Festival of Distinction contest.

a few things to know...​
​
Here are a few things to know for the start of the year...
**If you already have your instrument/accessories with you, your child may bring them into the band hall tomorrow morning before school, and we will put it in their band locker. We'll be here starting at 7:15am for the first day.
**No one will ever need to carry their instrument around the school all day. Each student will have a band locker.
**You child will get to see their instrument on Friday, as well as make sure all accessories are accounted for. If anything is missing, we'll let you know in the next few days. The instrument and supplies will stay at school for now.
**Beginner band students will not be bringing their instrument home for a while. We will teach them proper handling and care for their instrument first, then they will bring it to and from school each day the rest of the year! Students will have a list of band objectives to complete before their instrument will come home.
