Concert Band
Directed by Mr. Javier Rivera - Jlrive@garlandisd.net
The Concert Band is our fourth band and is comprised of students in all four grades. To be a member of this group, a student must demonstrate musical maturity, technical proficiency, and commitment to rehearsal and practice time. Participation in the all-region band audition is highly encouraged but not required. Preparing and performing a solo or ensemble at the solo and ensemble competition is highly encouraged. Private lessons are strongly encouraged.
