Symphonic Band

The Symphonic Band  is composed of advanced seventh and eighth grade students.   Students must prove a high level of proficiency on their instrument and must be willing to commit to regular rehearsal and practice time. Membership is determined by audition in the spring semester. It is expected that a minimum of thirty minutes of practice time occurs each day (average practice time should be between 30 to 60 minutes). Students will document points earned on their practice record and then turn it in weekly. Supplemental private is lessons is not required but highly recommended. Members will have a few extra full band rehearsals throughout the school year as well as a 45 minute sectional per week. Students in this ensemble are required to tryout for All-Region band and participate in Solo and Ensemble. Performances will include pep rallies, two football games, a fall concert, a holiday concert, two contests in the spring, a spring concert and clinics. It is expected that all band students, including concert and beginning bands, maintain passing grades in all classes.
