We had only around 50 members in a good year many years ago. The last few years we have ranged in members from 65-75. Each year we have had a very high percentage of fifth graders who have successfully auditioned into the School District #203 Honor Band. We have a select number of band students who perform with the choral department on the winter program. We have several opportunities for small ensemble performance from a select group of students who perform on our band concerts. Private lessons are optional but encouraged.</p></font> </td></tr>')
