Concert Band
Band is open to any high school student wanting to play a music instrument in a group setting. Participants will learn and play traditional and contemporary band literature and be required to participate in at least four performances throughout the school year: winter concert, spring concert, regional band festival, and commencement ceremonies. There are 4 sections of band I,II,II,and IV. The only prerequisite for a sequentially higher level is successful completion of the prior level a year before. New members start with Band I.
