Symphonic Band Handbook
Instruction focuses on development of key musical techniques including tone, rhythmic accuracy, technical facility, articulation, intonation, blend, balance, and musical expression through the preparation of music performance. Approval of the instructor is required for admission in this class. Students are required to participate in all assigned performances to receive full credit.
Attire
Woodland Park Music - Symphony band is for most advanced musicians. We expect the sophistication and grace, not only in their musical performances, but also how they look and behave. A concert is a special occasion and students’ attire should reflect that. Uniformity of dress truly enhances the whole event, creates fewer distractions for the audience, and is expected from students in the band program.
No Tennis shoes and jeans !!!
- Black slacks/dress pants
- Black socks, and black shoes
- Tuxedo Shirt (butterfly collar)
- WPMS Band polo for theme park trips
A generous donation from the Band Boosters has allowed us to purchase and check out bow ties and cummerbunds (blue) to every student in Symphonic Band.
We appreciate any clothing donations (Black slacks, tuxedo shirts, or WPMS band polo shirts) to help dress the students appropriately for festivals, concerts, and events. Please have your student bring clothing items washed and folded to the band room.
