Band

Wind Ensemble is the foundation of the music department. It is open to any GHS students who can play an instrument. For the first nine weeks the Modeltowners Marching Band takes the stage, with at least a once-weekly required night practice to ready themselves for exhibitions at home football games. More rehearsals are required and graded. Following the march season, the wind Ensemble readies itself for the upcoming concert season, including the Christmas concert, Festival, both district and state, and the spring concert. Members of the Wind Ensemble are encouraged to study privately and audition for District 14 Honor band, held in December. Other activities open to band members are: District and State solo and Ensemble Festival, Band Council and council offices, Students Director/Drum Major and/or Color Guard.
