Welcome to the Grant High School Instrumental Music Program
Our Instrumental Music Program consists of various ensembles, with varying levels of play. These include String Orchestra, Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble*, Jazz Lab, Jazz III*, Jazz II* and Jazz Ensemble*.
String Orchestra, Symphonic Band, and Jazz Lab are all welcome to new musicians.
* Indicates an audition is needed to be accepted into the ensemble.
The Grant Pep Band plays at football games and select basketball games. All Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and Jazz students are members of the Pep Band. The music will be rehearsed during regular class time.
The Performing Arts department (choir, dance, and band) produces a musical annually. The needs of the Pit Orchestra are dependent on the musical selected. Auditions are in the winter, with the show in early spring.
Every student has the option to compete in the Solo & Ensemble. This is a classical-style competition for small ensembles and individual musicians (with an accompanist). More information will come in the winter.
As always, there are the honor bands. All-State, All-City, and WIBC (Western International Band Clinic). These jazz and classical auditions occur in the fall.
