Symphonic Band is open to all qualified woodwind and brass instrumental students based upon an audition, the Symphonic Band studies and performs symphonic music literature that is both complex and challenging. Members combine with the Concert 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 musical organizations (orchestra, jazz, and small ensembles) is encouraged. 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.
