Our Thoreau Band still has a few spots available and we are now inviting 3rd grade students to register! Classes start at the beginning of October. Secure your spot now!
Schedule & Season
- Practices: Practices are planned for twice a week from 8:05 am - 9:05 am at Thoreau.
- One morning will be a combined beginner and intermediate band session, and the second morning will alternate between beginner-only and intermediate-only sectional practices.
- Please note: We are working towards (but can’t guarantee) minimal overlap between band and choir attendance and are still finalizing the exact mornings.
- Practices will be on Thursdays and Fridays before school.
- Season: The season runs for 20 weeks, from October 9 to March 19. The full schedule will be finalized and shared in September.
- Performances: The program includes two main concerts, with the possibility of additional performances at PTA events.
Cost & Registration
- Cost: The registration fee is $250 per student, which covers all practices and the cost of the two concerts.
- Registration: visit https://thoreaupta.givebacks.com/w/band
- Scholarships: Scholarships are available. If your family needs assistance, please contact our school counselor, Mr. Botello, at jbotello@lwsd.org.
- Instruments: Instruments and a music book are not included in the registration fee. We are collaborating with Music & Arts in Bothell to host an Instrument Night at Thoreau on the evening of September 17th at 6pm, where students can try out different instruments before committing to one.
Additional Information
- Capacity: The program is for 4th and 5th graders and limited to a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 25 students.
- Volunteers: We require one parent volunteer per session on a rotating basis.
- Program Growth: If we receive enough registrations, we will do our best to scale up and offer separate beginner and intermediate bands.
We look forward to offering this exciting program to our students and hope your family will join us! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out at yuanhsinc@gmail.com.
