What is Concert Band?

Carroll High School is proud to have three very talented concert bands.

Beginning Concert Band is a course designed for those students desiring a band experience, but not desiring to participate in many extra activities (Marching Band, full concert schedule etc.). This is also a good choice for students who only want to be in band long enough to earn their fine arts credit. Each student is expected to continue development of their individual technique and musicianship as they study, rehearse, and perform a variety of styles of music. Participation in the scheduled concerts is required. Students may also go onto intermediate or advanced bands following completion of beginning concert band.

Intermediate Concert Band is our intermediate level performing concert ensemble. Each student is expected to continue the development of techniques and musicianship as we study, rehearse, and perform a variety of styles of concert literature. The performance opportunities in which we utilize these skills are required. This course is open to all students who have experience on a a musical instrument.

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.
