Concert Band is the intermediate step in the BMS Band Program. Requirements are 1 year of Beginning Band or an audition with Mr. Nielsen. This class further develops the skills that were learned in Beginning Band and bridges the gap between Beginning Band and Wind Ensemble. Text books for this class will be Essential Elements Book 1 and Book 2. There will be lots of Etudes and Exercises studied to develop the technique on each individual instrument with several pieces of sheet music or Band arrangements. The Concert Band will also perform several concerts throughout the year
