About The Program:
Chadds Ford Elementary School offers instruction on band instruments (woodwinds, brasswinds, and percussion) for students in grades 4 and 5. Students receive a half hour small group lesson and a full band rehearsal once every 6 school days.
My name is Mr. Miller and I am the director of bands at CFES. I am in the building on cycle days 1 and 2. If your child is not enrolled in the band program and would like to be, feel free to conctact me via the E-mail address or phone number to the left of this paragraph.
Current Important Information:
5th Grade Concert Band lessons have already started and rehearsals begin on Monday, September 15 ("B" day).
