At Carlton, band is offered during the school timetable. This means there are no early morning or noon hour rehearsals, and students are not pulled out of other classes to attend practice. Band classes are backed with a compulsory class so that one day the student would attend band and then the next day he/she would attend the other class. This way of timetabling band allows the class to run for the whole year, which enables the group to perform at different events. Students choosing to take band should have previous band experience – not necessarily at the previous grade level, but students must know how to play their instrument and be able to read music. Students with music reading experience, who are interested in taking band but have not played a band instrument before, should meet with the Band Director. In class, students work on developing and improving their instrumental and musical skills, and group performance.

Band 10 is a continuation of programs established in earlier grades with emphasis on the continued development of aural skills, music literacy, instrumental technique, music interpretation and appreciation; and group performance. Students will have an opportunity to play a number of pieces throughout the course. Students selecting this course must be able to read music notation and know how to play a band instrument.   Students that did not take Band 9 should speak to the band director about enrolling in the course. Students that have music reading skills but no experience playing a band instrument should also speak to the band director. Students with no music reading skills or instrumental skills should take Music 10 and then eventually sign up for the band program, if they wish.

Band 20 is a continuation of Band 10 with emphasis on the continued development of aural skills, music literacy, instrumental technique, music interpretation and appreciation; and group performance. Students will have an opportunity to play a number of pieces throughout the course. Students that did not take Band 10 should speak to the band director about enrolling in the course as the ability to read music notation and play a band instrument is required. If students end up with a timetabling conflict, they should speak to the band director about the possibility of taking band in one semester.
