Description

Varsity Band is a year-long course designed to build upon the learnings of children with at least two year's experience on a band instrument.  Students will perform a wide variety of music at a number of public concerts.   These performances will occur within both a traditional mass band ensemble as well as in the more challenging and rewarding structures afforded by small ensemble experiences.
