    Course Description: Symphonic Band is open to students in grades 10-12 who play a woodwind, brass, percussion, or keyboard instrument and wish to challenge themselves musically. The Symphonic Band program is designed to further develop and refine the skills necessary for ensemble musicianship and related performance skills through an emphasis on sight reading, music theory, and individual technique. The performance repertoire for this class is more challenging than Concert Band, thus placing more demands on the individual performer. Note: participation in all of the Symphonic Band’s performances is required.
