P1 & P4 - Adv. Band

Advanced Band

Commitment: 1 School Year

The Advanced Band is a select band requiring director approval, and a successful audition. Students will continue to learn the fundamentals of performing together in a band setting accomplished through the development and refinement of high-level ensemble skills and more challenging literature. In addition, students in the advanced band will be exposed to more technique and skill training to prepare for more challenging literature and tasks at the high school level. Students in Advanced Band will be involved in at least one on-campus concert per semester and aims to attend at least two festivals or competitions in the spring semester. Note well: This is a select course of some of the most advanced band students making this class highly competitive for acceptance. Not everyone makes it into this course and this is normal. Only in rare circumstances or exceptions such as a schedule conflict will students be allowed in advanced band.
