BAND The Symphonic Band is a large, fast paced, dynamic group of instrumentalists from a wide variety of musical tastes and skills. It is in this ensemble where measured growth is anticipated and expected in tone production, intonation, rhythmic accuracy, musical experience and attention to cues. This Symphonic Band is an excellent organization in its own right, but the aspiring instrumentalist will find it a pathway to more specified instrumental study. Musical repertoire will be selected from outstanding classical and traditional bank literature to enhance these studies. Symphonic Band will join forces with other instrumental groups to support fall athletic events.
