Who We Are
We are A 6th - 8th grade instrumental music program at putnam county middle school |
The band program here at Putnam County Middle School consists of individual 6th, 7th, and 8th grade band classes. We also offer many other ensembles such as our Pep Band, Jazz Band, and small chamber groups of trios, quartets, and quintets. Our students are involved in many performance opportunities throughout the year. Every student performs in at least two concerts each year: Winter and Spring. Students involved in our Pep Band perform at all home football games as well as a few other sporting events and pep rallies. Our Jazz group performs at school as well as some local places here in town. Our festival band is a hand selected group which performs at least once in the Spring for a panel of judges for ratings. Several students will audition for the Georgia Music Educators Association (GMEA) All-State Band as well as our district's region which will consist of several dozen band students from our region. Several students will also be selected to participate in The University of Georgia's Mid-fest which is an event consisting of several bands made up of hundreds of middle school band students from all over the state. Finally some of our students will perform solos or perform in small groups in our district Solo & Ensemble event where they are graded from a panel of judges.

Parents |
We always love having parents around! The key to a successful and thriving band program is through parent support. We travel a few times through the year and will be doing a couple of fundraisers so if you love music and would love to join us on our travels or help in any way please contact me at [email protected]
