Instrumental Music 

The Band program is designed to foster performance confidence, aesthetic perception, creative expression, responsible citizenship, and an awareness of the historical and cultural heritage of music through the performance of concert band literature. The ensembles are structured to accommodate musical skill level placement and work to push each musician to their highest potential. As a music performance organization, student participation in all rehearsals and performances scheduled inside or outside of the school day is required. Students must practice their instruments regularly to perform at their highest ability level.

Students are evaluated on participation, citizenship, rehearsal behavior, and testing and performance of the assigned exercises and music on their instrument as well as their contribution to the total ensemble. Students may also be evaluated via tests and quizzes.
