This year at Springville Junior High School, Mr. David Booth teaches band classes every school day. He teaches six different classes, which include grades seven, eight, and nine. Mr. Booth prepares the classes for concerts and festivals every year.

Mr. Booth teaches all three grades at the junior high, and the students enjoy his classes. Students could say that being in band is like a concert every day, but you don't have to sit still the whole time. “I love band! It’s my favorite,” SJHS student Abi Santiago said. “You get to play music and hang out. Mr. Booth is the best,” SJHS student Afton Brown said.

Mr. Booth has been teaching band at SJHS for thirteen years. “I really enjoy helping students learn how to play instruments, and hopefully also increase their love of music,” Mr. Booth said. “Like most anything-hard work, dedication, practice, and teamwork are necessary for success in band,” he continued. Whether you’re in band or not, you'll agree that this class is a great addition to our school.
