Alta Sierra & Buchanan Percussion

Welcome to the home page for the Buchanan Educational Center (BEC) Percussion classes! As you can imagine, plans are currently underway for this school year, but many questions about how our Band classes will work still remain unanswered. Check back soon for updated information about this year’s Percussion classes!

WEB-BASED PROGRAMS ALL BAND MEMBERS WILL USE:

Google Classroom:
Your child will be assigned a Google Classroom class to join, which we’ll use for all class announcements, assignments, and other information.

Flipgrid:
All students will submit their video recordings of solos and performance assignments through Flipgrid. All students have free and secure access through this program using their school email account.

MusicTheory.net
We will be using Musictheory.net as a method for delivering some of our music theory tests and instruction.

BAND App:
We use this app as a means of communicating with the high school parents and students, in place of ‘Remind’. We do not currently use this for Alta Sierra Students - just Buchanan. ‘Remind’ has limitations due to the face that we have classes and programs of over 150 students. BAND is our alternative, and is particularly useful when we start going on trips and competitions. This can be accessed via the web or the free app. We have set up a separate one for parents and students.
