River Gig music scene as 150 students take private band lessons
In River Gig, about 150 students from two high schools and four junior schools attend private instrument lessons in the Robert E. Lee band room. The program, run by the school system, charges a $2.50 weekly fee, keeps band rooms open after hours, and uses 16 instructors including high school band directors, university music majors, and neighboring district specialists to improve individual musicianship and overall band performance. The district aims to reduce long drives to Houston and plans to add more teachers as a waiting list forms, with 1,200 letters sent to parents informing them of the new lessons.
