How does participation in concert band teach students responsibility, discipline and the art of music performance?

​

Concert Band meets daily and is open to all students who play a band instrument. This ensemble focuses on the concert, marching/pep and chamber music styles of performance. Students study and perform a variety of standard and contemporary literature. Ensemble studies develop independence in the reading and performance of music. This ensemble performs at concerts, festivals, and school and community functions. Participation in occasional full band and sectional rehearsals outside of school hours is required. Summer Band Camp and participation in Marching/Pep Band are also required of all band students at Souhegan High School. Double Reed players (oboe/bassoon) will be excused from the marching/pep commitment and Varsity Football players will be excused during the football season.
