Forestview HS Jaguar Bands

Forestview High School has three concert band classes. Novice Band, Intermediate Band, and Honors Band.

The Novice Band is for all 9th grade band students as well as those students that need a little more assistance before being able to progress to our Intermediate level. Students will focus on developing their essential musical elements and fundamentals that will prepare them for future levels of music.

In Intermediate Band, students transition from introductory instrumental skills to an emerging mastery of reading, technique, theory and overall musicality. Students will explore a diverse selection of musical literature through rehearsing and performing as well as through the study of music theory.

Honors Band is an audition-only course that provides opportunities for advanced-level performers to increase, develop and refine performance skills and precision on a wind or percussion instrument. Students in this course will study music at the highest performance levels and will participate in the North Carolina Music Performance Adjudication (MPA). Students enrolled in honors band are eligible for honors credit.
