The fifth grade band program is available to any interested fifth grader in the Mercer Island School District. This program is an exceptional opportunity for students offering specific instruction on their chosen instrument, as well as universal musical concepts and skills. The program stresses the collaborative cooperation and teamwork necessary for group success. This program is also the gateway to the world-class band programs at Islander Middle School and Mercer Island High School. Most importantly however, it’s fun!

The instructional program is provided free of charge by the district. Rental/purchase of instruments is the responsibility of the family. The program is taught before school, from 8:10-8:55 am. Transportation is provided by the MISD transportation department from 5th grade band to the elementary schools.
