Aloha High School – Concert Band

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Length: 2 semesters / 1.0 AA credit Concert Band is required of all freshmen or first year band members, except for percussionists who will sign up for Symphonic Band. This ensemble provides students with a balanced comprehensive study of music, at a pace appropriate for the first year of high school band. The course will consist of mixed instrumental ensemble music and will include several concerts. Instruction will be designed so that students will connect, examine, imagine, define, try, extend, refine and integrate music study into other subject areas. Ensemble and solo activities will be designed to develop elements of musicianship. Attendance will be required at all rehearsals and performance, as they will be used to assess student performance achievement among other group and individual evaluation methods. Students will also be required to perform as part of the pep band for some home basketball games. Students must provide a concert dress uniform as outlined in the band handbook. Note: This course also meets outside of the school day for concerts. Concurrent enrollment in a major ensemble (Concert Band, Symphonic Band, or Wind Ensemble) is required to participate in extracurricular ensembles such as the marching ensemble and jazz bands. This class is a year long commitment.
