Marching Band
This class will meet five times per week during zero
hour plus performs at football games and competitions during the
marching season. The Marching Band also performs for pep band
during the basketball season at 6 home games. This class will be
open to any student who passes the audition, which consists of two
parts: instrumental musical performance and the demonstration of
marching skills. Students are required to attend a preseason
session, and it may be necessary for a student to rent or purchase
an instrument. Students must maintain the uniform and furnish
appropriate matching shoes, socks, shirt and gloves. The placement
of the individual student within the Marching Band class will be
determined by the band director based upon the continual evaluation
of the student's attitude, responsibility, and performance.

This class is
open to experienced students only. The objective is to provide the
student with rich musical experiences. Additional time may be
required for individual practice, rehearsals, performances, and
festivals. At this level, private lessons are strongly encouraged.
By enrolling in the class, the student is obligated to fully
participate in all scheduled activities. Students maintain the
uniform and furnish appropriate matching shoes and socks. It may be
necessary for a student to rent or purchase an instrument.
Placement is by instructor approval and will include an audition on
the instrument. An audition may include scales, sight-reading, and
playing a solo.
Percussion Ensemble
This course can only be taken by members of the
Marching Band percussion section. It meets during the school day as
a regular class and is designed to meet the unique needs and demands
of the marching band percussionists. This course should be taken in
lieu of either Wind Ensemble or Symphonic Band during the fall
semester. Students will work on concert music during the spring
semester.
