Concert Ensembles
Wayne Memorial High School's Instrumental Music program offers five different ensembles during the school day. We have three concert bands and two string orchestra classes. Some of these classes also combine on specific concerts to perform as a full orchestra as well.
Freshman Band
Concert Band 9 is also known as our Freshman Band and is a full year course designed for our new high school instrumental music students. A wide variety of music and styles will be addressed. Participation in the Concert Band will result in mandatory performances and rehearsals, including Fall, Winter and Spring concerts.
Concert Band
The Concert Band is a full year course designed for developing wind/percussion players to help develop overall technique and musicianship. A wide variety of music and styles will be addressed. Participation in the Concert Band will result in mandatory performances and rehearsals, including Fall, Winter and Spring concerts.
Symphony Band
The Symphony Band is an advanced ensemble and a full year course. Comprising woodwinds, brass, and percussion, members of the Symphony Band are selected through a successful audition. This band rehearses and performs various styles of music such as classical, pop, marches, jazz, contemporary, etc. The music that is rehearsed and performed is at a greater difficulty level, and thus, requires that its members be more dedicated while displaying a higher level of technical ability. Participation in the Symphony Band will result in mandatory performances and rehearsals, including but not limited to Fall, Winter and Spring concerts, Festival and Graduation.
