The Timberwolf Bands
Symphonic Band
The Symphonic Band is designed for students with one or more years of playing
experience who have achieved the highest level proficiency on his or her
instrument. The privilege of being a member of the Symphonic Band carries the
highest level responsibility and expectations. The Symphonic Band can be compared
with top band programs across the state of Texas. Because it is extremely
difficult to receive individual instruction in a full band setting, students will be
required to attend 1 hour long section rehearsal each week before school. Members of the Symphonic Band will also be required to audition for the All-region band and orchestra in October as well as perform in the K.I.S.D. Solo & Ensemble contest in the spring.
The Symphonic Band also participates in the U.I.L Concert and sightreading contest
in April, as well as the Festival at the Falls contest in late April. Members of the band will be asked to take recruiting trips to elementary schools in December. In addition to winter and spring concerts, the band will also perform a fall concert in October. All academically eligible Symphonic Band students are required to perform in all of these activities, unless excused by a director with plenty of advance notice. Participation in the Symphonic Band requires responsbility, great work ethic, excellent time management skills, a great attitude and outstanding self-discipline.
