New Student FAQ
1) What music classes do you offer?
The Rancho Campana music department has something for every type of musician. Every class teaches a wide variety of styles so the official name of a class may not tell the whole story. We have Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble Honors, Stage Band, Jazz Ensemble Honors, Concert Choir, Vocal Ensemble Honors and Guitar Ensemble 1 and Guitar Ensemble 2, and honors. Strings will sign up for Concert Band for the time being. For the 2025-26 School year, we now offer Marching Band!
NOTE: If you are not sure which class to take please ask the Music Director, Mr. Sachs.
2) What options do I have if I don't own my own instrument?
We own a variety of relatively common instruments already and may be able to check one out to you. We also can help you connect with a reputable dealer that will help you purchase or rent one if those are paths you are interested in.

3) Do I have to be in the Arts Academy to take music classes?
Any student can take music classes regardless of the academy they are in. We want all students to be well rounded.
4) Do you offer Marching Band?
For the 2025-26 school year, we are now offering Marching Band and Color Guard! Stay tuned for more information. Please see this FAQ for the latest information.
