Incoming 6th Grade students are scheduled for one (1) elective class. Students must complete and submit their class selection GOOGLE FORM no later than Thursday, March 28, 2024. Sixth grade students will choose from 6 elective classes in order of priority (1 through 6 with 1 being their top choice).
Sixth Grade Elective Descriptions:
- Exploratory Wheel (choose Art Exploratory on IC) - There are anywhere from 4-6 classes that revolve in a wheel-like rotation over a set number of weeks. Classes may include: Art, Drama, Foods, Music, Living Skills, Computers, Chorus
- Cadet Band - Cadet Band is our beginning level woodwind, brass and percussion ensemble. Most students will begin the class on basic instruments such as the flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone and percussion. In an effort to expand our instrumentation students will have the opportunity to begin oboe, bassoon, bass clarinet, tenor/baritone saxophone, baritone/euphonium and tuba. This course will review the basics of musicianship including rhythm and note reading that were learned in elementary school, then progress to include the more advanced concepts of dynamics, tempo, articulation, blend, balance and intonation. Students will learn music in a variety of genres. Participation in regularly scheduled cocurricular
performances is mandatory and formal performance attire is required. - String Orchestra - Orchestra is a class for 6th–8th grade students who play violin, viola, cello, bass or piano. We learn a variety
of music ranging from classical to pop and perform concerts throughout the year, including field trips.

Music of a wide variety of styles, cultures and time periods will be studied and performed including a cappella, classical, jazz, spirituals, and “pop”! Get ready for an awesome, fun-filled year of singing!
