duPont Manual High – Symphonic Band 1, 2, 3, 4

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

These courses emphasize continued technical training, rehearsal, and performance of literature written for the large wind and percussion ensemble. Emphasis is placed on the reading, study, and performance of quality original band literature and transcriptions of high artistic merit while continuing to reinforce those technical and personal skills gained from study in the intermediate band. The student will gain familiarity with the standard band literature, and, over a period of four years, be exposed to most of the major works of the concert band repertoire. The student will perform in at least four school concerts and two regional and national music festivals during the year.
