This course will emphasize intermediate development of technique, tone, control, interpretation, and comprehension of musical symbols, terminology, and concepts. It is designed for those students who have had at least one year of band instruction at the elementary or middle school level. Students will perform intermediate level literature (grade I/II), and attendance at outside of school performances and rehearsals is a requirement of the course. Due to fundamental differences in pedagogy and curriculum, this class is not open to string students playing violin, viola, cello, or bass (see Orchestra classes)
