Re: Beginning Band at the end of 5^th Grade

For your information:  The Hudson instrumental music department requires two years of piano lessons prior to testing for percussion in the beginning band.  Although a student has attained the required years of piano lessons, this does NOT guarantee their placement as a percussionist.  Each year 10 students will be selected from those who were tested.  The test is based on individual written examples and rhythmic coordination.

Note:  Students who are not selected to be a percussionist are eligible and highly encouraged to play one of many other wind instruments that are offered.  A list of area piano teachers can be provided to you by one of the Hudson Band directors by emailing:meinckcr@hudson.k12.wi.us or rootca@hudson.k12.wi.us.
