Our Music Department here at Anthony Wayne Middle School offers fun and exciting instrumental classes, as well as after school ensembles for your child to be a part of! There is the 6th Grade Symphonic Band as well as the combined 7th & 8th Grade Band. Both bands meet daily and perform Winter as well as Spring Concerts. Weekly lessons are also included when students are signed up for band. These small group lessons are where students can better focus on individual technique and musicianship. If you are interested in joining band but have never played an instrument before… not a problem! Mrs. Basilicato, our AWMS Band Director, is willing to work with any students who are interested in learning an instrument and will work with them to become proficient on their instrument of choice. There is also the AWMS 7th & 8th Grade Jazz band, an audition only ensemble which meets after school in the Spring. This group is open to all 7th & 8th grade students whether they are in band or not! Music is an excellent activity for all students to participate in! Please take advantage of all that we have to offer! Hope to see you in our band room soon!
