Class ensembles include Symphonic Band, Concert Band and the Concert II Band (Freshmen). All of these ensembles have a specific curriculum that has been designed to emphasize musicality and musical understanding, technique/range building, sight-reading and performance skills, to name a few. A variety of method books/supplemental materials are utilized in addition to literature from all periods and styles of music. Although not the primary focus of the bands, all the ensembles do participate in organized music festivals and have been fortunate to receive numerous awards and division I ratings. All of the bands work under the philosophy to be first and foremost educationally grounded and to strive to be the band of the audience. During the fall, most students participate in the Golden Regiment Marching Band, which is Blue Springs High School’s largest and most visible student group. The Golden Regiment has been recognized for their powerful sound, innovative drill design and class act reputation. |
