The Shelburne Middle School Band has nearly two hundred members in grades six through eight. With a school population of less than six hundred, this means that thirty percent of the students at Shelburne are members of the Band.
Students begin receiving instruction on their chosen instrument at the beginning of their sixth grade year. The sixth grade Band members meet daily, in forty minute sessions. The seventh and eighth grade Bands each meet for eighty-five minutes and alternate days following the school's A/B class schedule. The sixth and seventh grade band classes are divided by instrument type. The eighth graders rehearse as a full ensemble.
