The Patriot Concert Band is the fundamental core of the band department, serving as the essential foundation for all other musical activities and embodying our vision of “Quality Growth, Quality Experience for All.” It is in this setting that students cultivate the comprehensive musicianship and technical skills necessary for success across the board.

In Concert Band, students develop core competencies like sight-reading, balance and blend, precise intonation and the expressive interpretation of high-level musical literature. These skills are not merely academic; they directly benefit kids by enhancing their performance in every secondary ensemble.

For the Marching Patriots, the refined tone quality and technical precision learned here elevate the musical quality of their field shows. In Jazz and Pep Band, the deep understanding of musical style and sophisticated harmony gained provides the necessary versatility for those specialized performances. Furthermore, the disciplined focus on individual technique and musicality becomes the very bedrock of students’ success in Solo & Ensemble competitions.

Participation in Concert Band ensures a holistic musical education, making it the single most important component for any student committed to achieving the highest level of success and having the best overall musical experience in our program.
