The concert bands, including the Concert Band (8-9) and Symphonic Band (10-12), are at the core of Eastern Brown Bands. Although marching band and pep band are our visible ambassadors, the concert bands are where we grow most as musicians. These classes focus on improving both individual and ensemble musicianship through creative and engaging exercises and quality wind band repertoire. In addition to the Christmas Concert and Spring Festival of the Arts, the Symphonic Band attends the District 16 Large Group Adjudicated Event in March and performs for a panel of adjudicators. Students also have the opportunity to participate in jazz band, pep band, chamber ensembles, and private lessons.
