Fifth grade starts the Beginning Band program. This voluntary activity
is where the good habits formed in fourth grade start to pay off.
Students learn to play traditional band instruments in an ensemble
setting. The following year, sixth grade band students move up to
Intermediate Band and continue to hone their playing skills. Daily band
classes are held at Centennial and start at 7:45 A.M.
