New year, fresh faces

Hello,
I am Mr. White, the new band director here at Fillmore Middle School! I am very excited to be joining the Fillmore staff and to be passing along the knowledge that I've gained over my years of music study and performance to the students at our school. 
Some things will look very familiar while a few different things will be going on this coming school year. As a part of Fillmore USD's Local Control Accountability Plan (or LCAP) we received funds to purchase instruments in order to start up a strings class! That class will be unique in that it will focus on small ensembles and will include chorus for the class. We will also be adding a beginning percussion class that will offer interested students the opportunity to properly play, perform, and maintain the wide variety of instruments within the percussion family before joining up with one of our higher-level ensembles or joining up with the FHS Band! The familiar wind bands will still exist at the beginning, intermediate (Concert Band), and advanced (Symphonic Band) levels and I look forward to fostering these students love for music.
Please feel free to peruse the site! It may never truly be complete as I continue to add pertinent information and update useful apps and websites to the resource page so stay connected! Let's look forward to a productive school year!
