Greetings and Welcome to Band!  My name is Mr. Freeby and I'm thrilled to have you in the BAND program here at the Middle School.  We will be playing our instruments almost every day of each of the four 9 week periods.  I hope that your're signed up for all four quarters of band as we will be giving concerts (performances) in each one.

Mr. Scott Freeby "Your Fearless Leader, Mr. Freeby" - Y.F.L.M.F.

Some highlights of the year include: 1st Quarter: Playing Pep Band music at two home Football games and also in a GIANT Pep Band (both the EMS and AMS Pep Bands will play) at the "Little Apple Bowl" football game between Anthony and Eisenhower.  We'll also be working on the concert band music for our 1st performance in 2nd Quarter.

2nd Quarter will have us performing in a Public Concert at night in late October as well as an evening performance (CAROLING AT THE MALL) at the Manhattan Town Center Mall in early December.

3rd Quarter will have us working on music that is more difficult (and more fun) for our performances in mid February (EMS) or early March (AMS). 

4th Quarter will have us working on the most difficult (and the most fun) literature of the year - THE TOUR SHOW.  I will also be writing (composing) a piece of music for the Bands to perform on our final concerts of the year.

Being in the band is a great deal of fun.  As a matter of fact, our class motto is: WE'RE SERIOUS ABOUT HAVING FUN! 

SEE YOU IN THE MUSIC ROOM!  Mr. Freeby :)
