The Upperclassmen Concert Band at Greenbrier East performs an advanced wind literature repertoire and prepares students for festivals, solo & ensemble, and regional honors ensembles. Membership is open to qualified students in grades 10–12.
Rehearsals are held during scheduled class periods and additional sectionals are scheduled before major concerts. Students are expected to attend weekly rehearsals, arrive prepared with music, and participate in sectionals as assigned.
The season includes fall concerts, a winter concert, adjudicated festivals, and spring performances. Students may also participate in solo & ensemble and county/regional auditions.
The ensemble typically includes flutes, oboes, clarinets, saxophones, trumpets, horns, trombones, euphonium, tuba, and percussion. Instrumentation may vary by repertoire.
Membership is open to everyone in grades 10–12. Interested students should contact the music department for more information.
