When the marching season ends, the music keeps going.
Band students are divided into three performing bands that meet for a full class period every day, separated by ability level, with students placed by audition each semester.
The concert bands prepare for UIL Concert & Sight-Reading and solo competitions, with after-school sectionals and clinics beginning in January.
