Many of the bands take special tours throughout the year.
Academic credit is available for participation in the band program.
All students interested in the band program should contact band directors prior to the first rehearsal. The Ensemble gives scheduled concerts and participates in an annual tour through Nebraska. Members must evidence proficiency in playing the trumpet, trombone, saxophone, piano, guitar, bass or drums. The orchestra provides an opportunity for all area string players and selected wind, brass and percussion players to perform. The orchestra, in addition to its concerts, collaborates with other performance groups to present operas, musicals, oratorios and large choral works.
