Core Values
Overview
Middle School Band (6-8)
Meant as introductory courses for younger learners, all middle schoolers are welcome to enroll in the middle school band course in order to enhance their instrumental skills and learn how to perform in a low stakes, cooperative environment. Rehearsals are meant to be informative and engaging, with proper performance disciplines being thought over the course of the year. Additionally, students will participate in two concerts throughout the year (Winter/Spring).Â
High School Band (9-12)
Designed to give students a well-rounded instrumental music education. Students will perform standard wind ensemble literature and newer to more contemporary compositions/arrangements. Students will continue to expand in their technical and musical skills through ensemble and individual practice. Appropriate rehearsal and performance disciplines are reinforced and maintained through large group rehearsals. Students will perform in two concerts throughout the year (Winter/Spring), as well as perform at festivals and other performance opportunities. Attendance at public performances is required. (i.e., concerts, festivals, etc.) Overnight field trips may also be part of the program.
