Are you new to the Rice Raven Band?
Welcome! We are glad you are here! Prior experience is NOT necessary to join the Rice Raven Band! Anyone who would like to learn to play an instrument is welcome.
If you are an incoming student who would like to be in band next year:
If you attended Andrews, Skaggs, or Wyatt, you should have received a letter from us with information about picking an instrument and an appointment time for instrument selection. This meeting usually takes about 15-20 minutes and is the first very important step toward becoming a successful musician. If you have not received such a letter, please contact Mr. Tucker to set up an appointment.
If you are moving in from another school or are joining the Rice Raven Band as a 7th or 8th grade beginner, you will need to contact Mr. Tucker to schedule your appointment as well.
All incoming beginners must meet with a Rice Band Director to decide what instrument suits them the best. Please, do not rent or purchase an instrument without first meeting with one of the Rice Band Directors.
If you already play a band instrument and you are joining us from another school:
Please contact Mr. Tucker to schedule an appointment for a band placement audition. This will involve playing some scales and any music you know that will give us an idea of your level of proficiency. It should not be anything about which to be concerned or worried. You are welcome to perform a selection that you have already prepared at your previous school, or you may click here to download a copy of the audition music we used last spring.
If you are moving into the Rice community and would like to join the band:
