Students involved in the instrumental music program at Brea Junior High School annually participate in many concerts and events. These include but are not limited to Winter, Spring, and Pops concerts, concert band festivals around Southern California, community events, and amusement parks such as Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm.
After completing eighth grade, Brea Junior High students move on to Brea Olinda High School, where they are urged to participate in the award-winning instrumental music program under the direction of Mr. Joseph A. Bartell.
Brea Junior High School is the only junior high school in the Brea Olinda Unified School District. It is located in Brea, California. Students from the district's six elementary schools- Arovista, Country Hills, Fanning, Laurel, Mariposa, and Olinda- all feed into Brea Junior High. The school serves approximately one thousand seventh and eight graders.
Currently there are four instrumental music classes available at Brea Junior High: Beginning Guitar, Beginning Band, Intermediate Band, and the elite Concert Band, all under the direction of Mrs. Glenda Bartell. Our program has been steadily growing in both quality and quantity since Mrs. Bartell's first year in Brea in 2003, and our hope is to continue to develop and include a string orchestra program in the future.
