Concert BAND
Concert Band:
This group is one of the main ensembles of the WHS Bands. The Concert Band is the freshman group in the Waukegan High School Bands. The Concert Band is a full school-year long class. All 9th grade students are placed in the Concert Band as they enter WHS from middle school band. Participation in out of school performances, concerts, competitions, parades, and festivals is required and reflected in the student's band grade. Dates of these events will be given with plenty of notice. This ensemble puts on 4 concerts each year (Pasta&Pops, Winter, Early Spring, and Spring Concerts). The Concert Band participates in the IHSA Solo & Ensemble and Organization Contests each spring along with possible festivals/contests. High School Band is a fun way for students to express themselves musically while learning leadership, teamwork, passion, responsibility, pride, and good work ethic in a safe band community. Students learn about their instruments in a performance based class focused on music education and playing their instruments everyday. The pre-requisite to be in the Concert Band is completion of middle school band or a specific recommendation from the Band Directors. |
