You don't have to choose between band and everything else.
Sports, electives, and graduation requirements matter. So does making music. We want you to understand the options before deciding band won't fit your schedule.
- Want band class? Request Symphonic Band during course selection.
- Play a percussion instrument? Request Symphonic Band, just like every other incoming band student.
- Want to play sports? Marching Band is extracurricular and isn't required for concert band students.
- Planning graduation credits? Ask your counselor how band and other requirements can fit into your four-year plan.
