Welcome to the official site of the Ashland Ridge, 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 lesson schedules have been mailed
to those students who have registered. Lessons will be held on Tuesdays during June at the Northeast Elementary band
room. Please enter through the South doors by the playground/parking lot. The band room will be the first door
on your right. All students need to bring the lesson book they were working out of when school ended and any scale sheets
and/or exercises with them to the lesson.

Used Instrument List
We are currently accepting names of people who have used instruments that they would like to sell.
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
name and a phone number where you can be reached. We will then add your name to an electronic database that will be
published in August of 2008.

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.
