[C]
[Em] If you're going into ninth grade, you'll be at the [B] Annex and you'll be able to choose

well as the Wind Ensemble.

[F#] We also offer beginner band [Em] classes at both the Annex and the main buildings, where [E] inexperienced
students have the opportunity to get [Am] involved in our program.
For [C] our curricular or [Em] during the day programs, we have two [D] yearly concerts and yearly [Am] festival
performances, which include [C] overnight trips every other year.

[C] Beach, or Chicago, [Em] to name a few.
[D] Other trips include [Am] Carnegie Hall, [C] Lincoln Center, [Em] NJPAC, and [D] DCI East, where our [Am] students

In the summer and fall, you [B] can join our five [D]-time National [Am] Championship Marching Band.
[C] We do seven competitions a year, [Em] perform at the football games, and [D] participate in town parades.
[C] This is open to all levels of students and starts with the July program, followed by
an August band camp, [F#] and then the competitive season that lasts until the beginning of [C] November.
Also, if you [Em] want a head start, students going into eighth grade next year [E] are eligible
