Concert Band is a beginning level ensemble. No experience is needed to join this course. The band may perform at large group festivals. Because the group will have rehearsals and performances outside the normal school day, the student’s attendance at all events will be required. During the fall semester, your site’s band director may choose to teach marching band curriculum and during the spring semester, shift the focus to Concert band literature. As the marching band is a part of the spirit of the school, this ensemble will perform at all varsity football games and marching band competitions as scheduled by your site’s band director and/or athletic director. Because the group will have rehearsals and performances outside the normal school day, the student’s attendance at all events will be required including summer and fall camps. As a member of the Concert Band, the expectation is that you will be a part of the marching band should your director choose this option. This course may be used to fulfill the physical education credit. This course may be repeated for credit. Prerequisite: None. Fee required.
