Welcome!

Welcome to the Cardinal Heights 9th Grade Band Page.  We are looking forward to working together, challenging ourselves and each other, and making great music.    

What's coming up in 9th Grade Band?

Welcome to the new school year!  
Welcome to the start of this school year.  Here's some things to think about to help get the year started off great!
  • Get fitted and assigned a Carding Heights Music Uniform (if you missed the summer dates, find a time before or after school with Mr. Melrose)
  • Check out the Band Calendar & get dates on your calendar!
  • Order any supplies you may need (reeds, reed guards, valve oil, percussion mallets, etc...)
  • Look around this website and look for great opportunities (SP Honor Band, Lesson Academy, Jazz, etc...)

LOCK-IN: Wind Symphony & 9th Grade Band Tour, Oct. 19 - 20
