Netcong’s music program offers instrumental lessons to all interested students from 4th through 8th grade.  Each instrumental student has one group lesson each week.

Advanced Band meets after school twice a week, however, occasionally we practice during the school day.  After the Winter Concert the Advanced Band takes a break until the end of Basketball season.   We now have an Advanced Band of over 40 members.  In order to be in the Advanced Band you must meet the requirements set up by the director.

Our Advanced Band plays at the:

Halloween Parade

Winter and Spring Concerts

Firehall Inspections

Graduations, and other events.

(8^th grade Band members play in the All School’s Band Concert at Lenape Valley H.S. in February)

Beginner Band meets less often practicing once a week after school.  You may begin on an instrument at any time after 3^rd grade, however it is recommended that you start in 4^th grade due to scheduling problems.

Our Beginner Band performs at the Winter and Spring Concerts.

Jazz Band is made up of some of the better players from the Advanced Band and performs at Spring Concerts and the Senior Citizen’s Tea.

It is important to note that students must keep up with their classwork and homework in order to be in these groups.

Students wishing to be a part of the instrumental music program should see Ms. Jensen for more information.

The annual All-Schools Concert at Lenape Valley Regional High School is fast approaching. It is scheduled for Thursday, January 31st at 7:30 p.m. with a snow date of Friday, February 1st. This concert will feature the eighth grade students in both band and chorus from all the sending districts along with some select younger players. These students will combine with the high school musicians in a glorious concert that spotlights the musical potential of our district. We will have one joint rehearsal with all participants on Tuesday, January 29th during the school day. Students involved must submit a signed permission slip to Ms. Jensen in order to attend this rehearsal. Hope to see you at the show!
