Hello and Welcome to the Stitó:s Band programs homepage!
A bit about the Program...
Band at Stitó:s runs during our Flex block every other day. Flex is a block that all students participate in, they are grouped with one of their pod classroom teachers and pursue passion area's that the teacher rotates throughout the year, or they can take Band with me during that time which runs all school year.
Our Band program is always on the go with something. Students learn so much more than just to play an instrument, we learn about music theory, we explore how the music industry has helped shape parts of our culture and community, ask big questions like how can music influence our social and emotional health, and a big part of my teaching philosophy is to help foster independence and self-confidence in my students.
We participate in our local Chilliwack Music and Dance festival hosted at G.W Graham every spring in March. We also go on a Band trip every other year, we have so far gone to Whistler BC in the first year the school was opened and are on track to go again in the spring of 2025. Band students also participate in an evening concert that we put on at the school at the end of each term.
We also offer Music swag like hoodies and T-Shirts, as well as custom leather music folders. We do fundraising throughout the year with the help of parents to help reduce costs for big things like the band trip.
Please check back frequently for updates on upcoming concerts, and other things going on in the program.
