Symphonic Band

Current Assignments/In-Class Projects

        Students should be practicing their music on a regular basis.  We have 8 pieces of music to be working on and two performances in the next two months!

        Students can use www.musictheory.net as a resource for reviewing and/or learning note names, scales and other music theory.

        Here is a website that serves as an online metronome using your computer.  Try it out: www.metronomeonline.com

        To access recordings of our pieces, go to drop.io and enter the password, then download the files.
