The 7th/8th Grade Band is comprised of instrumental musicians in grades 7 and 8 at Troy Middle School.  It is a non-auditioned ensemble that rehearses twice a week during the school day.  Instruction in this group during full ensemble rehearsals and pull-out lessons involves an emphasis on advancing musical skills, such as posture, breathing, tone, intonation, rhythm, technique, dynamics, and articulation, using method books and band repertoire.  Other skills learned include developing good practice habits, self-disipline, self-control, and responsibility.
