Symphonic Band

at the High School

Overview

The Symphonic Band is comprised of students in grades 9-12 and meets every day as a full ensemble, year-round, during the school day. Participation in the Symphonic Band requires an audition for placement. The Symphonic Band focuses on developing intermediate to advanced levels of musicianship and performs Grade 3-4 (out of 6) level literature. In addition to performing at all Quakertown High School Band Concerts, the Symphonic Band also performs at band festivals and adjudications around the area, giving students the opportunity to perform for varied audiences.

Symphonic Band and Senior High Choir Combo Course

The Symphonic Band and Senior High Choir combination course is for students in grades 9-12 who wish to participate in both band and choir. Students will be recommended for this course based on their level of proficiency both as an instrumentalist and as a singer. In addition, band/choir combination students must display a consistently high level of dedication and commitment to the demands of participating in two advanced performing ensembles. Students will follow the course of study requirements for both courses. Since band and choir meet during the same period, students will alternate attending each rehearsal.
