WIND ENSEMBLE

Our Wind Ensemble group meets all 3 trimesters and students should be registered for the appropriate classes all three tri's.  The Wind Ensemble, also known as, Symphonic Band is an audition only performing ensemble for wind and percussion students.  The class is designed to teach and reinforce advanced fundamentals of music making in view of greater musical expression. Students play varied and challenging repertoire for festivals and other concerts.  Members of this group may be required to attend extra rehearsals and sectionals, as needed. Chamber groups and solo performances will be a part of each student’s grade. Private lessons are strongly encouraged but not required. Wind Ensemble Percussion students typically work on some advanced chamber percussion ensemble music, in addition to the wind ensemble musical selections.

Auditions for Wind Ensemble are typically held in March of each year.  Students can submit recordings of their audition to the band director and send through email.
