Performing Bands
Honors Band
Remind Code:
wcjhhon
The Honors Band is the Varsity performing ensemble comprised of the most advanced students from the seventh and eighth grades. In addition to the ensemble instruction during the school day, each student is required to attend one section rehearsal per week before school. Section rehearsals give us the opportunity to continue with skill development on each family of instruments and to do detail work on music that is not possible during the school day. Additional full band rehearsals may be called in the spring semester as needed.
