Concert Band is the instrumental performance based entry-level course in music open to any student by audition, or who has been a member of the Middle School Band for a minimum of two years or by audition. Emphasis is placed on the performance of quality band literature used as the fundamental material for teaching/learning. Students will participate in school concerts, exchange concerts, and festivals in order to apply information learned in rehearsals. Students also march in two parades throughout the year. The Concert Band Curriculum is designed to address the standards and performance indicators prescribed in the MAINE LEARNING RESULTS and MENC NATIONAL STANDARDS. The links below outline the standards/indicators and the process in which they are applied throughout the course.
