2 WHAT IS HIGH SCHOOL BAND? Students who join the Milton High School (MHS) Band program will be placed into one of three concert band classes that meet daily as part of the six-period academic schedule. Unlike middle school band, each of the three band classes is ability-based, and therefore, has a mix of 9 th -12 th grade students. Most freshmen are placed into the Concert Band (intermediate), but some advanced players will be placed into the Symphonic Band (advanced) and Wind Ensemble (mastery). Freshmen who play percussion instruments will be placed in the 9 th grade Percussion Ensemble. All students who sign up for band class will receive class placement materials and information at NMS and EPMS early in the spring. Band class placement auditions will take place on Monday, March 25 from 4:00-8:00 PM at MHS. The class placement audition is nothing to worry about; we have a place for everyone, regardless of ability or experience. However, we want to ensure that everyone is placed into the correct class. Above: The MHS Wind Ensemble performs at the University of Georgia. All three bands perform 3-4 concerts a year and regularly participate in GMEA Large Group Performance Evaluations. Students enrolled in band classes also have the option to take a private lesson during their band class once a week with a private lesson instructor.

3 THE MILTON HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND MEMBERS OF THE 2018 MILTON HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND MARCHING BAND REGISTRATION INFORMATION All band students must sign up for band class to be eligible to participate in the extra-curricular Milton High School marching band. Marching band begins in July with practices at the school and at our marching band camp. Once school begins, the marching band rehearses after school from August through the end of football season in early November. While all prospective members are required to attend a few practice sessions in the spring, these are not formal auditions and nobody will be cut. The practice sessions are used to place each student on the appropriate drum (for percussion), give the students an opportunity to perform with the high school band, and play a marching instrument (for brass players). For the colorguard (flags), the auditions will be a time to get everyone familiar with the flag equipment used. To be a member of the colorguard, no experience or band class is required, so feel free to encourage your friends not currently in band to audition for this group. The mandatory marching band interest/informational meeting for parents will take place on Monday, January 14 at 7:30 PM at MHS. Registration for both marching and concert bands is Monday, April 29 th from 4:00 8:00 PM in the MHS band room.

4 MARCHING BAND WOODWIND AND BRASS SECTIONS Flute, Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax, Baritone Sax, Trumpet, French Horn (Mellophone), Trombone, Baritone, Tuba (Sousaphone). Mr. Shumick will speak individually to oboe and bassoon players about other instruments that they can play so they can be involved in marching band. Students must attend a music rehearsal from 4:30-6:30PM on Tuesday, April 23 rd in the MHS Orchestra Room. At this time, all returning and new members will play as a full ensemble for the first time, music will be distributed, and school-owned marching instruments will be checked out for summer practice. As long as the student is registered by a parent at the band registration session on Monday, April 29 th, a spot in the group will be reserved. Above: Members of the 2018 MHS Marching Band as they performed The Art of Balance

5 MARCHING BAND PERCUSSION SECTION Snare Drum, Quads, Bass Drum, Cymbals, Front Ensemble In order to be a part of the marching band percussion section (drumline), all interested students must attend practice on Thursday, April 25 th and Friday, April 26 th from 4:30-6:30PM at MHS. During these rehearsals, all returning and new members play on their choice of percussion instruments. Music and other materials will be distributed several weeks in advance at NMS/EPMS. At the end of the two days, a finalized list of participating students and their assigned drum will be posted. Nobody will be cut. This audition is a way to make sure everyone is placed on the instrument to which they are best suited. Percussionists will then be assigned a spot in the front ensemble (mallet percussion, drumset, auxiliary percussion) or the marching battery (snare drum, bass drum, quads or cymbals). Students who participate in the fall marching band percussion section also have the opportunity to participate in the Indoor Drumline, which begins rehearsals at the conclusion of the marching band season in November.

6 MARCHING BAND COLORGUARD SECTION Flags, Weapon, Dance All band students and non-band students are eligible to participate in the Milton High School Colorguard. The guard performs with the marching band as an auxiliary unit utilizing flag, rifles, sabre and dance. Members are required to attend all rehearsals and performances. To become a member of this group, students must attend auditions on the week of April 22 nd in the MHS cafeteria from 4:00-6:30PM. No experience is required! Students who participate in the fall marching band colorguard also have the opportunity to participate in the winterguard, which begins rehearsals at the conclusion of the marching band season in November. PARADES Every year, the Marching Band participates in the Old Soldiers Day Parade in Alpharetta. Every other year, the band may also participate in a parade in another state, which is optional. In 2018, the marching band went to New York City, NY. L- Old Soldiers Day Parade Alpharetta (August 2018) Middle and Bottom- Veteran s Day Parade in New York City (November 2018)
