MS Performing Arts
- Prerequisite(s):Prerequisite: Intermediate Band (or equivalent from another school or as approved)Corequisite(s):None
The Advanced Band is an exciting and often challenging group to be a part of. Open to Grade 7 or Grade 8 students with at least two years of experience and who have demonstrated a commitment and ability for an advanced ensemble, this group builds on the techniques learned in the Intermediate Band. The focus is on developing a high level of proficiency in playing an instrument within a performance-based setting. We will continue to emphasize theoretical, historical, and compositional knowledge of music through project-based units. The class will perform twice a year, namely during the Fall and Spring Concerts. Additionally, Advanced Band students are eligible to audition for the AMIS European Honor Band and participate in the local MESAC Junior Fine Arts Festival.
