Concert Band is the band class open to all woodwind and brass instrumental students. This performing group requires a basic musical background and general fluency on one's instrument. Members combine with the Symphonic Band and Percussion classes to perform as a marching band during the fall quarter. Concert sessions entail a study of instrumentation fundamentals and techniques at individual, ensemble, and full band levels. Participation in other performing groups is encouraged, including advancement to Symphonic Band. An active concert schedule of 4-5 full or joint concerts or festivals (in addition to the fall marching and winter pep band schedules) is maintained. Students will study how music interrelates with the other arts. This is the band class all freshman woodwind and brass players should sign up for.
