The band is a very popular elective at Tequesta Trace. The mission of the Tequesta Trace Middle School Band is to partner with parents, students, and the school to provide an atmosphere where students can be successful in learning and performing on musical instruments, both individually and in a large ensemble. The belief that music education is an integral part of a child’s overall education is our primary goal, where we can foster that education and its influence on other aspects of life and create an overall positive experience.
Don't have an instrument at home? Rent one from our inventory with an annual contract. From the wind, percussion, or horn section, find your favorite instrument and join Mr. Curry in our award-winning band.

Chess Club
Sponsor: Karen Adams
Meeting Dates: One Tuesday a month - dates will be sent via Remind
Welcome to Tequesta Trace Middle School's Chess Club!
“As a game of strategy, chess enables players to better recognize the complexity and enhance their analytical capabilities when they analyze each move in the game. Additionally, members develop their patience and tenacity when playing the game, as they are constantly on the lookout for potential threats. Chess players need strong willpower to overcome temporary setbacks and to persevere and play to their best ability during the games. As there are more twists and turns than a roller-coaster ride in each chess game, there is never a dull moment while playing! In the process, members of Chess Club are all trained to possess strong mental strength and fine analytical skills.”(Credit: New York Chess Organization)
Tequesta Trace Middle School Chess Club plans to participate in external competitions throughout the year. Participation in competitions is entirely voluntary, and parents are responsible for all entry fees, transportation, meals, and lodging (lodging is only necessary if the competition is out of town). Information on competitions will be forthcoming.
