Concert Bands
Our curricular ensembles rehearse and perform throughout the school calendar year. The Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Concert Band and Percussion Techniques are all full-year courses that encourage individual skill growth while working together in an ensemble capacity. Music for each group is selected in a way that will expose students to classic and modern literature while challenging them musically and technically.
