Program Structure

The New Lenox Bands consist of students from five schools in NLSD 122: Bentley, Liberty, Martino, Nelson Ridge, and Oster-Oakview. Students sign up for band at the end of fourth grade and start learning their instrument at the beginning of their fifth grade year.

The Intermediate band is reserved for sixth graders and second year players. Intermediate band gives three concerts a year and participates in band contest. They also learn the fundamentals of marching and perform in many parades with the junior high students.

At the Junior high level, students learn the fundamentals of marching, perform in numerous parades, concerts and competitions, and have the opportunity to join Jazz Band and Pep Band. Students take band as an elective in jr. high and attend band class during the school day.
