Whereas this Memorandum of Understanding outlines a partnership between the Newark Board of Education and the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) through the Band Together Program, benefiting students in grades 5-10 who have an overall interest in learning a band instrument. Students will receive weekly lessons in music theory, instrumental technique, and ensemble participation on Saturdays from 10 AM to 2 PM at Arts High School, with the program running from October 2024 to May 2025.
