Students in Grade Four learn how to play the recorder so that when they enter Fifth Grade they will understand musical notation and begin to develope eye/hand coordination needed to play a more complex band instrument.
Mr. Bruno Cilloniz is the Saint Anne Band Director who also teaches our Fourth Grade students recorder.
Students in Grade Five explore all the band instruments: flute, clarinet, trumpet, saxophone, trombone, tuba and percussion instruments. Early in the year they are able to choose one of the instruments to learn to play which they will continue to develop their skills until the end of the school year.
There is no substitute or replacement for music making as it relates to the positive growth and development of the human mind, body, and spirit. Participation in band gives the musician the infinite journey of creative expression connecting to a language (music) that is understood, communicated, and appreciated by all of mankind around the globe. More importantly, MUSIC IS A PLACE FOR EVERYONE.
Students in Grades 6-8 progress into either the Advanced Band or the Regular Band in our Middle School. Concerts are held periodically throughout the year.
The Jazz Band is made up of the very best musicians from Saint Anne School, Saint Joseph School, and Mater Dei High School. This past year the Jazz Band was set to perform in the prestigious Reno Jazz Festival but COVID hit and their plans were not to be fulfilled. However, they were able to create a video which you can listen to below.
The Santa Ana Schools have a competitive Drum Line directed by Mr.Bruno Cilloniz which competes locally 3-4 times a year. Students must be in Grades 4-8 to belong and practice on Friday afterschool and many Saturdays beginning in October.
