Band & Choir

Band:

St. Thomas has two bands, our 5th grade Meteor Band and 6th-8th grade Comet Band.

In Meteor Band, students have the opportunity to learn a woodwind, brass, or percussion instrument. No previous music instruction is necessary. Meteor Band meets once per week and band members also receive one 30 minute small group lesson each week during the school day. Our Meteor Band performs at two concerts during the year, one in December and one in May.
