Advanced Concert Band:
The Advanced Concert Band is our advanced level performing concert ensemble.  Each student is expected to continue the development of advanced techniques and musicianship as we study, rehearse, and perform advanced level concert literature.  The performance opportunities in which we utilize these skills are required.  This course should be only for the serious music student.  A musical audition is required for placement into this band.
