football games, parades, and field tournaments. During the spring semester (and after the marching season is over) this band
becomes the Symphonic Band and performs at festivals and concerts. The Advanced Band stresses advanced techniques of instrumental
performance, both as a group and as individuals. Emphasis is placed on proper tone, technique, rhythm, and all other aspects
of proper instrument performance. Attendance and participation at all performances is required.
