Open to students in grades 9-12 who have completed an intermediate band method (or by consent of the director). The group performs at several concerts throughout the year, Scroll Night, Memorial Day, Graduation, and a biennial tour. Students perform advanced-level music of varying styles. Concepts of music are performed, described and recreated within this comprehensive and standards-based performing ensemble.
Band rehearsal and concert are not extra-curricular activities; they are extensions of the academic classroom. Therefore, students are expected to attend these necessary events. Since a student registers for the class understanding that he/she must participate in the concerts, the teacher may lower grades for inexcusable absences. All attendance procedures will adhere to the school's attendance policy.
Students are responsible for providing proper attire for all performances. Students in grades 7-12 are required to provide the following:
