We are fortunate at Belton Middle School to have 12 classes throughout the day. We separate all beginners into their specific instruments, while the older students are separated into ability-based groups called the Symphonic Band and Wind Ensemble. End-of-Year Placement Auditions happen in April and determine into which ensemble each student will be enrolled the following year.
