MAINE WEST BANDS

Curricular Ensembles

​Maine West High School offers four curricular band ensembles:
Concert Band, Percussion Techniques, Symphonic Band
​
and Wind Ensemble.  

The Marching Warriors and the Basketball Pep Band are our co-curricular athletic band programs.

All new members to the department are placed together in Concert Band (woodwind/brass) or Percussion Techniques.  

After one year of performance in those ensembles, students are placed by audition. Symphonic Band focuses on intermediate high school band literature, as well as music theory and performance techniques, whereas Wind Ensemble focuses on advanced high school/early college band literature, as well as advanced theory and pedagogy.  

We also offer extra-curricular opportunities such as Jazz Band, the Musical Pit Orchestra and the Basketball Band.
