This is an elective course open to all students with at least one year of ensemble music experience. The student’s proficiency on the instrument must be great enough to insure active band participation. Rehearsal and training are carried on throughout the year in areas of musicianship, sight reading, and the establishment of excellent musical standards. By performing, students gain self-confidence, a sense of teamwork, and responsibility. Attendance at all performances and extra rehearsals is required.
