After participating in the Beginning Band, students may advance to the Intermediate Band.  This ensemble is composed of 7th grade students who have at least a year of experience in band.  This band plays more difficult music (than the Beginning Band) and continues to learn concepts and develop skills.  Students in this ensemble will learn: to blend and balance within the ensemble, to develop individual tone quality, to advance technical skills, to compose and analyze music, and learn about composers, social events, and time periods in music history.
