Advanced Band
Students in this band should have a minimum of 2 years playing a musical instrument in a school band. Students will continue their instruction of their instrument by expanding their instrumental range as well as learning more advanced rhythms, mixed meters, and techniques. Literature written for this level band will be more difficult and more exposed than their first two years. Solos are common in the literature written for the Advanced Band.
