Mankato Community Education

CLARINET - DAKOTA MEADOWS MIDDLE SCHOOL BEGINNING BAND & BEGINNING ORCHESTRA - GET A JUMP ON YOUR NEW INSTRUMENT MAPS Staff 5 sessions Get a jump start on your new instrument. Parents are strongly encouraged to reserve this week for summer lessons if you plan on enrolling your student in band, orchestra or both in Fall 2023. Emphasis will be on the beginning elements of playing your instrument and learning how to care for it properly. Lesson week is only for students enrolled in MAPS Beginning Band or Orchestra at Prairie Winds or Dakota Meadows Middle Schools. Attend lesson week at the school you are attending this Fall.

This week-long camp is required for all 2023 Mankato 77 Lancers Marching Band members.

This will be a time to learn and work on some skills that are needed during the year (notebook, coding, team management, game analysis, etc.) We won't be attending any tournaments during the summer. This is to be considered a soft start to the season. Yes, there will be time to build, but we won't be rushing into it. If you have any questions you can email Michele Machado at mmacha1@isd77.org.
