The group will be comprised of a smaller group of elite winds, brass, and percussion. Students will use the skills learned in Concert Band and expand upon these in greater detail. Advanced techniques studies include intonation, independent part playing, chamber literature, et al. Students will also be exposed to upper level repertoire and techniques. The Wind Ensemble will perform in the Spring Band Concert.
