To join band or ochestra at Uintah Middle School, you don't have to do much. Or do. I didn't go to our middle school, and the current band web site doesn't really give good instructions on how to do so. I'll talk to my old band director later on to fix this page. Speaking of fixing this page, I will soon be getting higher quality images for the ensembles page, so stay tuned! So, you'll probably talk to whoever decides your classes. I know the middle schoolers also use Aspire. Sorry, this content will be much better in it's final form.
