HS Symphonic Band
The HS Symphonic Band is for students in grades 9-12 who have been playing their instruments for at least two years.

Instruments in the band are Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Bari Sax, Bassoon, French Horn, Trumpet, Trombone, Baritone, Tuba, and Percussion. (Percussionists have to have some piano/mallet experience as well.) We play four public concerts a year at school, as well as at chapels, small group performances and at home basketball games. We also take a major trip every two years, and have played at Disney World in Orlando and the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas.
