Symphonic Band:

All students who are not selected for the Wind Symphony are to enroll in Symphonic Band for spring semester. This ensemble will have performance opportunities at SCSBOA Festival as well as concerts and other events. Emphasis on the training of younger players for eventual placement into Wind Symphony is the primary goal. In-class playing exams and other forms of assessment will be used to help achieve this goal. SCSBOA class "B" and "C" (grade 4 and 3) music will be performed. Exact instrumentation and balance of the group is at the discretion of the director. All percussionists who are not selected for the Wind Symphony or Jazz Ensembles must enroll in this class.
