Band

Students have the chance to be exposed to the basic elements of music through the avenue of playing an instrument in a band setting. Students study elements of music such as rhythm, note reading and form, and basic technique.

Student groups and individuals have many opportunities to play throughout the school year, including regional and state competitions, seasonal school and community programs, and in the commencement exercises of WGCPS.
