Symphonic Band is an advanced band and considered the second
performing ensemble. Students perform at
concerts and contests throughout the school year including UIL Concert &
Sight-reading Contest and may choose to participate in the All-District &
All-Region audition processes.
Instrumentation is limited to students who show advanced performance
abilities and superior attitudes. This class requires a once a week outside of
school section rehearsal and has very few other outside of school rehearsals
leading up to a performance or contest.
The ACMS Symphonic Band has twice been named a winner in the Citation of Excellence competition for Non-Varsity Bands in Texas. The band has consistently won and been a runner-up in the North Texas Festival of Distinction.
