CONCERT BANDS

Elevate your Musical Standard

We offer two incredible opportunities for musicians to grow and shine in our Concert Band program! Whether you’re a rising star or an experienced player, you can be part of either the Intermediate Symphonic Band (mandatory for 9th-10th graders) or the prestigious Wind Symphony (by audition for 10th-12th graders). Both ensembles focus on developing your instrumental skills through the performance of classical, contemporary, and traditional wind band music – from woodwinds and brass to percussion.

JAZZ BANDS

Express Yourself

We offer three dynamic levels of Jazz Ensemble – each designed to help you explore the world of jazz at your own pace! All incoming 9th-graders can audition for Jazz 3, giving you a solid foundation in jazz performance. For more experienced musicians, Jazz 2 and Jazz 1 are advanced, audition-only groups for 10th-12th graders that offer a thrilling challenge and the chance to perform at a higher level. Perform at school concerts, local festivals, and community events, and have exciting opportunity to travel and perform at renowned festivals like the Reno Jazz Festival, Essential Ellington, and the Monterey Next Generation Jazz Festival.

STRING ORCHESTRAS

Tradition meets Innovation

We offer two levels of Chamber Orchestra, each designed to help you explore a wide range of orchestral music! String Orchestra is the perfect entry point for beginning and intermediate players – no audition required – where you’ll dive into traditional, modern, and popular orchestral works. For more advanced musicians, Chamber Orchestra (audition only) is a high-level performance ensemble focusing on complex orchestral repertoire and deepening your understanding of music theory and history. Our orchestras perform at school concerts, local festivals, and are eager to travel to destinations like San Fransisco in the Spring of 2025
