Ward Middle School Symphonic Band
Welcome! The instrumental music program at WMS forms a vital and important educational aspect of the curriculum. It has been proven in studies that those who participate in instrumental music programs are more successful in school, activities and life in general. This is directly related to positive qualities of life that music teaches including aesthetics, self-discipline, self-confidence, self-motivation, etc. The concert, parades and festivals that the instrumental program participates in also lends a sense of pride and color to the life of the individual, group, school and community. Music is a primary condition of the human experience. In the history of man on earth many civilizations have been identified that could not read, write or calculate. None have been discovered that did not make music. It is also interesting to note that all the species on earth only humans purposefully engage in making music. There are so many feelings in our heart and images in our mind that can only be accessed through creating, performing and listening to great music. When those thoughts and feelings are activated and engaged we can experience the profound impact of music making as an endless source of inspirational energy that flows continually through out lives; elevating, expanding, and deepening our spirits.
