Building upon the foundational skills developed in Beginning Band, the Advanced Band class is designed for 7th and 8th grade students who are committed to advancing their musical abilities and ensemble performance skills. Students will continue to grow as musicians, expanding their technical proficiency, musical interpretation, and collaborative performance capabilities.
