Band

The instrumental music component of Northeast High School is comprised of over 130 highly talented and motivated young adults ranging from grades 9-12. The musicians have the opportunity to play in many ensembles such as Marching Band, Orchestra, String Ensemble, Concert Band, Jazz Band, Saxophone Quartet, Clarinet Ensemble, Flute Ensemble, String Quartet, Brass Quintet, Percussion Ensemble, Small Jazz Combo, Theory Class and whatever other ensembles may develop as a result of our uniquely talented individuals. Our students benefit from private instruction on their instruments from a highly talented staff of instrumental music teachers, and every student is encouraged to study privately, as it will help further advance the sound and musicianship of the group as a whole. Annual Events in which we perform include a Broadway Show Production (recent years have seen successful productions of West Side Story, Good News, Grease, Bye Bye Birdie, Crazy For You, Music Man and Annie Get Your Gun), A Cluster Wide Music Festival, the City-Wide Jazz Festival, a biennial group trip to Disney World, a Winter and Spring concert,the Alumni Day Celebration, the Penny Pack Park Music Festival, and the Northeast High School Commencement Exercises. Northeast High School is asked to perform at many community events because of its positive reputation and high musical standards. This group is designed to keep everyone in contact with each other as the years progress. Many Alumni of the Instrumental Music Program are currently connected to this group and as time progresses I am sure there will be hundreds more who will stay connected to our Northeast Family.
I hope you enjoy being a part of this group because it was your efforts in the first place that inspired its creation.
