Symphonic Band

The Symphonic Band performs music at the VBODA Level III-V. Emphasis is placed on the sequential development of advanced technical skills and on the study of related literature. Based on successful completion of sequential concepts for each level, students will continue as specified in course level. Marching band techniques, rehearsals, and performances are required in this course. Students must meet both the school day and outside of the school day participation requirements to receive credit for the course. The Virginia standard for High School Instrumental Music, Advanced Level enables students to acquire more advanced technical and expressive skills and demonstrate a mature level of musicianship. Students are provided with opportunities to participate in local, district, regional, and state events.
