The Symphonic Band is comprised of approximately 75 student musicians, performs a variety of wind band literature, and rehearses and performs during both semesters of the school year (August – May). This ensemble is designed primarily as a training group, and is mostly comprised of underclassmen and a few industrious juniors and seniors who desire to start on a second instrument or wish to better themselves by playing for an additional hour daily.
