The Norton Middle School Bands

The directors and support staff of the Norton Band program believe music has a vital role in education and the human mind.  It is our goal to educate every student to the fullest extend in fundamental skill development, cognitive understanding, and aesthetic appreciation for all forms of music from all cultures.  The staff works with students on performance, rehearsal, and personal practice skills.  Students are encouraged to have a good work ethic, show consistent progress, and develop personal goals while achieving new skills.  The Norton Middle School instrumental education begins in the Fifth Grade Beginning Band, and it continues in the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade bands.  The sixth, seventh, and eighth grade bands are team taught during a 40 minute band class every day.
