The band participates at invitational and UIL contests during the year. Region band auditions are in the fall season. Instruction will include basic and advanced music theory such as rhythm, key signatures, ear training, and musical terms. Students are given the opportunity to develop mental and physical discipline by memorizing music and marching drills and preparing individual parts. The band will have the opportunity to march in the halftime in the last HOME game of the regular season. The band acts as a support group for community Pep Rallies, Veterans Day, Parades, Public Concerts, Graduation and other public and civil ceremonies, etc. Some extra practice time is required outside of class.
