Andrew G. Schmidt Middle School
​8th Grade Band

Under the direction of Mr. Andrew David Perkins. Here is a link to the AGS Middle School Grading Policies for Band.

We will be using Remind Text messages to communicate with students and parents throughout the year. To join our Remind group for the 8th Grade Band, text "@2024band" to "81010"

We will be using Google Classroom for all playing tests. The classroom code for our 8th grade Google Classroom is: 

Band members will need a 1" three-ring binder with pockets, and 25 clear window pages, matte or satin (non-glare) finish is best. The required method books for AGS 8th Grade Band members are the "Standard of Excellence" Book 2 (Blue) & Book 3 (Green), which can be purchased through Amazon or Marshall Music (Make sure you order the correct instrument book). Band Students who attended AGS Middle School in 6th & 7th grades should already have the Blue Book! These required texts will be important for playing tests, individual practice and ensemble use in class.
