Symphonic Band

Eligible Grade Level: 9, 10, 11, 12

The Symphonic Band is one of the top three band courses offered at South High School, and membership requires a serious commitment to excellent performance. Musical literature is both moderate and advanced, and is selected to achieve a large symphonic sound. Prerequisites include accurate demonstration of technical and musical ability through testing in scales, rhythm, tone, sight reading and intonation. This full year course, which meets daily, offers activities including concert, festival, solo/ensemble, and organizational contest performances requiring extra time commitments for evenings and weekends. Symphonic Band will perform at three major concerts during the school year, and all students will participate in a small ensemble during the third quarter.
