Band

Band lessons are offered during the school day to students in grades 4 through 8.  A variety of instruments are taught at the levels of beginner, intermediate and advanced. There is an additional charge for each participant. This service is provided by Hill-Murray High School. 

Mr. Sandor Miko is the Band Director for Saint John's. An informational session will be held the second week of each school year, at 3:30 p.m.

From Mr. Miko:

“If you have questions as to what band is, why it's important, how much it costs, or the opportunities band has to offer this year, please read the Band Handbook below, as it's very specific! Band comes with a tuition that can be paid here: http://mytads.com/a/hillmurrayband. (Note: This is a different account than the TADS used for Saint John's.)

Saint John's uses Eckgroth Music as its main provider of musical instruments. If you do not own an instrument, this is a great company to rent from! It should be known that this program is very dependable and is a rent-to-own program, so if you rent the instrument for a certain period of time it becomes yours! When you rent an instrument, it will get delivered right to the school. There are other ways to acquire used instruments, and I can check the quality or advise on those purchases; please feel free to reach out before making a purchase.
