Spartan Band is a beginning band course that teaches the basics of a brass or woodwind instrument and music theory. No previous music class is needed! The Spartan Band plays for the annual concerts in the winter and spring.
Varsity Band is a performance course that utilizes previous training in instrumental music to present the classical and popular works in the band repertoire. Band fundamentals and techniques are studied for continued self-improvement. A sense of musicianship and artistic expression is developed through the preparation and performance of concert music. The Varsity Band plays for school athletic events, performs in annual concerts, and participates in contests and festivals.
Symphonic Band is a similar course to Varsity Band, but it operates at a higher musical level. This group also goes on the annual tour in the spring.
Congratulations to all of the band students who auditioned this spring. I enjoyed hearing your auditions and look forward to making music next school year! Much thought went into your band placement for your individual needs as a growing musician. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me. DOWNLOAD ROSTER
