The Concert Band is a non-auditioned ensemble that focuses on the refinement of fundamental skills necessary to perform both as an ensemble and individually. Rehearsals are focused on enjoying the process and making great music together. We perform a variety of pieces, from traditional wind band literature to contemporary music, ensuring there's something for everyone. This group meets during 1st Period and is comprised of students from Grades 9-12.
In addition, students will perform in a variety of ensembles, such as pep band, brass/woodwind choir, and percussion ensemble. For a description of these ensembles, please see below.
