Bandapalooza gives students opportunity to explore music and instruments

 

Bandapalooza for all Hampton City Schools rising sixth and seventh graders, held at Jones Magnet Middle School on Thursday, June 9, 2022, was a great success.

 

Students had the opportunity to try out multiple instruments, pick their favorite, meet music teachers and band directors, and listen to the HCS Jazz Band. Parents can still sign their child up for band or chorus for next school year by contacting their school.

 

“There are so many important benefits of music education. Band and chorus classes not only positively impact a child’s academic performance, but they also can give students a place to belong throughout their middle and high school years,” said Kelly Dee, visual and performing arts curriculum leader.
