-Concert+band

The band practices 3 times a week, from the start of flex, to the end of school. there isnt much time to practice all their pieces, so everyone has to focus and be on task, so then the final concert would sound great. || Some of the pieces for the spring concert include: Semper Fidelis, Pilatus: Mountain of Dragons, an American Elegy (which is a tribute to the columbine high school incident), and Salute to American jazz. During the rehearsal, sometimes only 1 section (or several) will play at one part of the piece, to narrow down and fix mistakes. After that the whole band plays to see how it sounds, then another section will work at it (all under the director in fron of everyone not privately), then at the end the piece of music will sound better. the band is directed by Mr. Royer, who also directs the marching band. Each piece of music that is done usually brings out some part of the band, while other pieces focus on other sections. Most people in band enjoy it, as they play an assortment of music, from jazz to marching music. Usually at the end of the year (or at least before winter break), the band, chorus, orchestra, madrigals etc.., will play in front of the whole school, so be prepared to see what the band has been working on for the last half of school!
