Wind Symphony
Wind Symphony
The Hershey Wind Symphony performs traditional and contemporary repertoire of the highest caliber, ranging from the sixteenth century to present day. Study of wind band music will be enriched with the study of music theory, history, and composition. Students in Wind Symphony must demonstrate advanced ability through performance of advanced band literature, solo literature, major/minor and chromatic scales, sight-singing, and sight-reading. Students in the Wind Symphony have represented Hershey in the DCMEA County Band, PMEA District 7 Band, PMEA Region V Band, PMEA All-State Ensembles, and the NAFME All-Eastern Ensembles. Auditions for the Hershey Wind Symphony occur at the conclusion of the previous school year and is open to any student grades 9-12.

Dress Policy - Formal Concert Dress
ALL BLACK. Every piece of clothing must be solid, plain black. No patterns, no colors, nothing shiny. No t-shirts, polos, or other short-sleeved shirts. Sleeves must be at least 3/4 length and all bottoms must come below the knees when seated. Appropriate clothing includes: Long-sleeve black dress shirt, black blouse (3/4 sleeves), black jacket, long black dress, black skirt (with black leggings), and/or black dress pants WITH black shoes and black socks. Long, black ties are required when wearing a long-sleeve dress shirt. Any other accessories should blend in with your outfit - nothing flashy. You get the point - all black.
We are ONE band. Wearing proper black concert attire helps place audience member’s focus off of the individual and onto the ensemble and the music. Any student arriving for a concert not in proper concert attire will be asked to return/call home for the correct attire. Parents – thank you for your help in making sure your child is dressed appropriately for school concerts!
