Harrison High School – Beginning Band (Concert Band)

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

The foundation of the music education experience at Harrison is established in the concert band courses. These include Wind Ensemble (Advanced Band), Symphonic Band (Intermediate Band) and Concert Band (Beginning Band). These bands rehearse all year during the school day. It is in this setting that music principles and fundamentals are taught, practiced, and developed. Therefore, participation in all other aspects of the band program is contingent upon enrollment in one of the concert bands classes. Each course is designed to cater to the individual needs of the students and is therefore ability-based. Auditions for placement into these ensembles are held prior to registration for each term.
