Symphonic Band Results

In the spring, students try out for placement purposes for scheduling purposes. In the fall the following year, band members audition again in front of clinicians, judges who do not personally know the students, and are placed in symphonic or concert band, with symphonic being the highest band. Students who made district band the past week do not have to audition for symphonic band.
