Here’s what you need to know about joining Republic Tiger Pride Band!
The Band Staff will be to your elementary building in March to provide a demonstration of the instruments RMS band students play as well as allow all students the opportunity play-test the instruments. They will send communication home for parents to understand the audition process as well as input toward your child’s selection process.
Instruments RMS 6th grade students play: flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone, drums (snare kit & mallet kit). In 7th grade woodwind students have the opportunity to audition for oboe, bassoon, and saxophone. In 7th grade brass students have the opportunity to audition for French horn, baritone, and tuba. Percussion students in all grades will explore various percussion instruments but must begin in 6th on snare kit & mallet kit.
We partner with Palen Music Center to make renting band instruments easy and affordable. An informational meeting will be held in August at the beginning of their 6th grade year, where you will have the opportunity to rent or buy their instruments that evening. Meanwhile, a brief introduction to the program can be found at Palen Music website.
