WIND ENSEMBLE

The Wind Ensemble is Springfield's premier performing ensemble and is comprised of 7th and 8th grade students who consistently display instrumental excellence. In very rare circumstances, a 6th grade student may be selected to perform with this ensemble. Members of the Wind Ensemble are chosen through an audition process and are held to strict attendance requirements. Students in this ensemble are expected to be enrolled in private lessons and to be available for sectional work and rehearsals before and/or after school. Wind Ensemble members are required to audition for the District 3 Honor Band and the South Carolina All-State Band, if selected for a call-back audition. This ensemble represents Springfield Middle School in the South Carolina Concert Festival, as well as at Regional and National Festivals.

Required performances for 8th Grade Band students include:

Region 3 Concert Performance Assessment
