WIND ENSEMBLE Grade Level: 9-12 Length: 1 year Prerequisite: Audition with band director Graduation: Fulfills Fine Arts Requirement College Prep: Fulfills CSU/UC Visual/Performing Arts “F” requirement with a grade of “C” or better (Pending A-G Approval)
The Dublin High School Wind Ensemble is the advanced course in wind and percussion music performance. Membership is contingent upon audition and is available only to students who have studied a wind or percussion instrument in middle or LCSN-KGLR-C4WC 40 elementary school for a minimum of two years. The Wind Ensemble curriculum teaches technical, rhythmic, listening, translative, analytical, and performance skills through advanced literature in the band repertoire in a historical and multi-cultural context. This course provides development of the fundamentals in tone production, articulation, music reading and scales, as well as an opportunity to study and perform a variety of music. Performances are a logical outgrowth of the integrated instrumental music curriculum, which may include concerts, festivals, solos, ensembles, recitals and appearances within the community when appropriate. The Wind Ensemble combines with the Symphonic and Jazz Bands to form the Irish Guard Marching Band, which during the fall semester appears at home varsity football games and competes in field show competitions. After school rehearsals and performances are required. Participation in all marching band events, including rehearsals, football games, and competitions is required regardless of choice of instrument. This class meets daily and may be repeated for credit. Daily time commitment: ~30 minutes per day, 5 days per week, plus additional time for test preparation.
