About the Band
Coppell Middle School West features performing bands. Starting in the 6th grade, the beginning band meets daily in ‘like’ instrument classes to focus on playing fundamentals and develop musicians to be ready to perform at a high level by the second year. As 7th and 8th graders, students are placed by ability into the varsity band (Honor Winds), the non-varsity band (Symphonic Band), or the sub non-varsity band (Concert Band).
Our performance schedule includes a Fall, Winter, and Spring Concert, a December elementary tour, the UIL Concert and Sightreading Contest, several pep rallies, as well as performing at a Coppell HS Football game. The 7th and 8th grade band students audition for membership in the All-City Band and also perform at the CISD Solo and Ensemble Contest. It is the focus of the Coppell MS West Band program to develop in the students a love of their instruments and a love for music.
