Band and Orchestra
4th and 5th graders at Whittier have the opportunity to play as members of the band or orchestra. Students may choose to play the violin, viola, cello, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone, or an instrument in the percussion section. This year, we have an impressive number of students enrolled in band, and they are making a lot of progress in learning to play their instruments! Please continue to remind your band student(s) of their responsibility to practice at home.
We have two band teachers at Whittier: Mr. Jonathan Boehmer and Mrs. Jilby Cheston. Here is the link to Mr. Boehmer's website:
