Based on an audition held in the second semester of the previous school year, students involved in MSHS bands are placed in either Concert Band, Symphonic Band, or Wind Ensemble. Students are placed by ability level based upon a set standard of selected music and sight-reading material.
A student who is placed in Concert Band, Symphonic Band, or Wind Ensemble will be a part of Marching Band. The band participates in four marching competitions each fall and presents two or three concerts during the year. Marching Band runs through the end of October at which point students switch to the Concert Band setting. All after school rehearsals end at the conclusion of Marching Band. All Bands may also perform at Organization Contest and/or other festivals. The students in Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Ensemble must attend marching band camp the first week in August. Musicians in both band and chorus will need to complete an audition for BOTH ensembles in order to be considered for membership in these groups.
District and All-State Festival, University Honors Band, Solo and Ensemble Contest, Bulldog Brass and Jazz Band are additional outreach activities of the Band Department.
Please note, students who wish to participate in the Marching Band Color Guard must be enrolled in a high school music ensemble (either band, chorus or both) for the entire school year.
