Concert Band

The concert band is split between four classes that meet during the school day and is for students with at least 3 years of ensemble experience and fundamental skills in instrumental performance and music-reading.

 

Literature is primarily drawn from the NCBA Grade 2 and 3

difficulty levels and covers a wide range of musical styles.

 

Focus is on development of

fundamental tone production, technical skills, ensemble sensitivity, self-expression, independent music decision-making, student leadership and character development through musical literacy

and public performance.

 

Students are eligible for the ensemble by enrollment in a band course during the previous school year or through audition with the band director.
