My name is Mr. Eldridge, known to my students as "Mr. E". I serve as the band director and music teacher here at Hamilton. I am very excited to have the opportunity to share my love and passion for music with the children of this school and community! The band program here at Hamilton has a well-established legacy and has been active for over 30 years without interruption. Many Hamilton band students go on to attend the best high schools in the city including City, Poly, and the Baltimore School for The Arts. Many band students also continue playing and performing in high school and eventually receive band scholarships to attend college. Band is a great place to learn social, life, and academic skills in a positive environment. If you have any questions or concerns about the band program here at Hamilton, please reach out to me or any member of the school staff. My email is Oleldridge@bcps.k12.md.us.
