Beginning Bands

The students enrolled in these classes learn the basic principles of reading music and making sounds on instruments of the woodwind, brass, and percussion families. They have 2 performances . Winter Concert and End of Year Concert. |
Advanced Bands
•The advanced bands consist of the concert, symphonic, and jazz bands. These bands participate in annual music performance assessments ( the Formal State Test for Band!) as well as local and national band competitions. Our advanced groups have earned various awards, including 1st places and Grand Championships at the Music USA band competition in Orlando on multiple occasions, and 1st Place and Grand Champions at the Fiesta Val Band Competition in Gatlinburg, TN. •In addition to extra after school rehearsals and performances, advanced band students also participate in out of town field trips to band competitions. |
