Concert Band

The Concert Band presents a balanced program of technical development and musical performance, and represents Basic High School in a variety of performances throughout the school year. It is expected that all members will work towards improvement and possible advancement into the Symphonic Band. Attendance at a limited number of rehearsals and performances outside of the school day is expected of all members. Participation in this ensemble is open to members who decide not to march. Advancement from this ensemble to Wind Ensemble will only be allowed after successfully completing one semester of Marching Band.
