Concert Bands

The concert bands are at the core of the students’ high school music education. These ensembles provide the students with an intimate knowledge and understanding of the structural elements of music,  music as a creative art form, the cultivation of habits, attitudes, and appreciations. The concert bands perform at quarterly concerts and adjudicated band festivals throughout the year.
