6th Grade Band will start in September, not in summer school for the 2025-2026 school year.

PLEASE make arrangements for an instrument BEFORE August as music stores and repair shops get very busy as the school draws close. 

ALL band students will need a well functioning instrument on Tuesday, September 2nd.

Formal recruiting includes the following...

1. Instrument Introductions

Mrs. Mohr will show and play each instrument

and talk about Oakfield's band program on March 12th

2. Instrument Fitting

Students will have a 15 minute "appointment" the week of

March 18th to try a few instruments!

3. Commitment!

*Email or phone Mrs. Mohr by Friday, April 26th, so she knows if your child will be in band

and what instrument s/he will be learning.

*Submit Summer School Registration by Tuesday, April 30th.

*Submit the Middle School's form with the proper music class selection(s).

A great way to help your child decide what instrument to play is to

talk about what looks like fun and sounds cool.

After that, you can check out my pages linked on this site.

I have compiled lists of

some professional musicians and included some links to hear the

instruments. (You could also search YouTube and listen to children.

This way you know what to expect in your first years of band.)

It's always a great time to have your student participate in band! If

you would like information on how to get started, please contact

Mrs. Mohr by email or phone - bmohr@oakfield.k12.wi.us or

(920) 583-3146 ext. 3068

Music Notes:

"Music education can be a positive force on all aspects of a child's

life, particularly on their academic success. Given the impact music

can have on our children's education, we should support every effort

to bring music into their classrooms."
