Welcome to the Senior Band! During your three years of course work in this ensemble, we hope you will respond to the musical and technical challenges by applying yourself with great passion and enthusiasm.

Students in Band 10, 11, and 12 will have an opportunity to participate in a European Band Tour. This is an optional tour. In past years, we've had students go on two-week performance tours to Northern Italy, Southern Germany, and Austria. This is a remarkable tour that has been one of the highlights of the school for the past 25 years. Again, participation is optional. Fundraising opportunities will be available.

It is important for you to know that if you are not participating on this tour, you will have an outstanding year in this course and in the Senior Concert Band. Our regular course work will still feature many guests, festivals, and concerts.

Finally, we would like to invite each of you to try out for the Wind Ensemble, the Brass ensemble or the Percussion Ensemble. The performance opportunities provided by these ‘clubs’ are great. Or, if you would like to create your own performing ensemble, please chat with us so that we can help.
