The Burley High Symphonic Band is comprised of the wind and
percussion students who choose to participate in band while developing
the musical proficiency required for Wind Ensemble or who prefer a
lighter performance schedule. Symphonic band will perform high quality
literature, study music theory and history. Participation in the Symphonic
Band include the responsibility of attending scheduled rehearsals,
performances, as well as membership in the Burley Bobcat Pep Band
during football and basketball season. Travel for some large group
competitions is expected.
The Jazz Band member is expected to be an active participating
member of the Concert Band. There are special considerations for
those who do not play concert band instruments. The Jazz Band is the
premier performing group of the instrumental program. This group
travels regularly and is invited to perform at civic functions. Second
semester is the most active schedule with Clinics, competitions and
concerts. Attending all Jazz Band performances is a course
requirement. This is a co-curricular class, meeting during class on
scheduled days, and meeting many times outside the hours of the
regular school day. Also, Jazz Band members fundraise extensively to
be able to participate in the program. May be repeated for credit.
