Achieving Excellence Through Music
The GMS Bands are audition-based ensembles for 7th and 8th grade students. Band students can continue their band experience by participating in one of our two concert ensembles. Placement in either the Symphonic Band or Concert Band is based on ability level determined through an audition process held during the spring semester of the previous school year.
Members of GMS Bands have numerous performance opportunities throughout the year, including:
The ensemble focuses on performing high-quality middle school band literature tailored to the ability level of its members, exposing students to a variety of musical styles and genres while challenging them to achieve at a high level.
The Symphonic Band offers students the chance to perform in various settings, both within and outside the school community. These performances help students develop their musicianship while fostering school pride and community engagement.
