Congratulations Beginning Band Students!  Mrs. Stone and Mr. Kasparek had a great time working with you these past few weeks, and are excited about seeing you this fall.  During the last few days, some students worked up a little tune called "Let's Go Band."  You can download and print your very own copy here...

Music Performance at Monona Grove

Many students are involved in music at Monona Grove.  Performing groups include bands, choruses, orchestras and string groups, show choirs, and jazz ensembles.  Students in middle school and high school also form small instrumental and vocal ensembles for Solo/Ensemble Festival.  Middle and High School Students have the option to be involved in one, two, or all three areas of music:  Band, Chorus, and Orchestra.  Each group performs several times throughout the year.  In addition, several MGSD students participate in civic organizations such as the Wisconsin Youth Symphony Orchestras.
