Symphonic Band Music and Video Links

Calendars and Handbook

    The Symphonic Band consists of freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior students and meets 7^th 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, concert and festival performances (as determined by the directors), dress rehearsals (if scheduled), three Pep Band games, and sectional attendance (one twenty-minute sectional every two weeks).  Additional grading requirements are listed later in this handbook.  The Symphonic Band is directed by Mr. Moore and Mr. Lang.
