Welcome to the official site of the East, Northeast and Southeast fifth-grade bands!!!!

A brief overview of the fifth-grade band program:
The Ankeny band program begins in fifth-grade. All fifth-grade students will have the opportunity to try the basic
band instruments in the fall. Students will have a group band lesson, once a cycle for 30-minutes. Early band
rehearsals will begin in October from 7:15-8:00 a.m. This is when the entire band plays together. The fifth-grade
band usually performs 2-3 times during the school year.

Summer Band Lessons:
Summer band lessons will once again be offered
this June. Summer is a great time to get caught up, go further in your lesson book, keep up your skills or
just play for fun. All students who have completed grades 5-12 are eligible to participate. If you are interested
in summer band lessons please return the lesson registration to your band teacher by Friday, May 9!!

Please send the following information by email to John Gosnell at john.gosnell@ankenyschools.org. We will need: the type of instrument, brand name of instrument, condition, price you would like to receive, and your

Winter Weather:
If the school day is delayed any amount of time or cancelled due to winter weather, we will not
have early band. Lessons will be as normally scheduled for the remainder of a shortened day. If school
is cancelled we will skip that letter day and assume the next letter day on the following day of school.
