Open to any student with a minimum of one year of successful previous playing experience on a concert band instrument in a school band setting. Students will continue their study of music theory and history along with the study of progressively more difficult band literature. Students will be expected to practice their chosen instrument on a daily basis outside of school and will perform, at a minimum, of three formal concerts during the school year. Students might also have additional opportunities to study and perform outside of school in small groups. Smartmusic computer software will be used as a practice aid and for testing.
