The Symphonic Band consists of freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior students and meets 7th period. Some freshmen will be placed in Symphonic Band based on director recommendation. The band performs challenging band repertoire, striving for the highest level of performance. Continued emphasis is placed on music reading, counting rhythms, tone production, ensemble playing, listening, and intonation. Placement in the band is made by directors and based on musical ability. Quarterly band grade will include the following: Homework assignments, daily participation/performance, four FHS Concerts, four Pep Band games, May Palatine Memorial Day Parade, and sectional attendance (one twenty-minute sectional every two weeks).
