Students should wear their concert uniform or bring it and change during the first 5-8 minutes of class. Group pictures wearing music uniform will be taken in the Gym. After the photo students will have time to change out of their uniforms - we will not practice that day.Band and Strings students do NOT need an instrument for the group photo.

Hart Band & Strings Classes Available
Thomas Hart Middle School has a thriving instrumental music program. Last year was the first year Hart offered “Wind Ensemble” class. Auditions are required each year for this class. Students of all grades are eligible to audition. Our instrumental program is growing each year and the Wind class will allow for the classes to be more balanced in the teacher to student ratio.

There are two 7th grade and two 8th grade quartets. If your student makes the quartet we will ask for a donation which helps fund the expense of the extra classes.
Matt Finders will again offer Jazz Combos for 7th and 8th graders. No audition is necessary for the Jazz Combos. Students will get more information on the Jazz Combos in class. If you student decides to join a Jazz Combo, we ask for a donation to help fund the expense of the extra class.
