Other Ensembles

A concert band comprised of winds, brass and percussion players. This concert band is a unique opportunity for musicians in the region to come together and play music ranging from Sousa Marches and Traditional Wind Band music, to Movie themes and Contemporary pieces. Students will gain experience with ensemble technique and benefit from the program’s inclusion of adult and professional players in the group. Our community members will get the opportunity to play in a formal concert band while getting to practice and perform high-level concert music of a variety of genres. Our band also provides the opportunity for motivated younger students to access high level music before it is typically offered in a public or private school setting.
