9th Grade

9th Grade Concert Band

Concert Band includes all incoming ninth grade band members. The Concert Band extends a musician’s training through the development of playing technique, characteristic tone quality, musical sensitivity, complexity of rhythmic patterns, and the contribution to a more refined ensemble sound. The Concert Band will perform at required concerts during the school year. Additionally, students will develop musical skills through small group or individual time with an instructor. Members of Concert Band will be eligible to audition for Jazz Band. Additional performances and activities may be included as part of participation in Concert Band. The Ninth Grade Concert Band does not perform as part of the Prairie “Hawks” High School Marching Band or Pep Band. These opportunities will be available to students in tenth grade.
