About Us


EBOP is the Elementary Band and Orchestra Program offered at Highlands Ranch High School for HRHS elementary feeder schools. Students in 5th and 6th grade have the opportunity to learn an instrument while gaining musical experience with their peers. In addition, students develop relationships with future Cresthill Middle School peers which can have a positive impact on their educational experiences as they move on to middle school and high school.

Band instrument instruction is available to students on flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, trombone, baritone, and drums/percussion.

Orchestra (String) instrument instruction is available to students on violin, viola, and cello.

EBOP classes are twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday mornings, 7:15-8am,  throughout the school year. Regular attendance and home practice improve your student's musical development.

To enroll your student in EBOP complete the registration form under the Registration tab.
