Aloha and welcome to the Moanalua Middle School Band website. The Moanalua Middle School Band program offers a variety of ensembles that currently has an enrollment of 142 seventh and eighth graders in the 2021-22 school year. We offer two Beginning Band classes comprised of seventh and eighth graders. Incoming students who learned a band instrument during summer school are placed in the Intermediate Band  class. The Symphonic Band year students who are interested in taking another music class may audition to perform in the Jazz Band. The Moanalua Middle School Music Department also offers a Concert Orchestra ensemble that combines the strings and band instruments which meets once a week after school.
