Wind Ensemble

The curriculum for the Pine Tree High School Wind Ensemble class focuses on developing the technical skills needed for performing on brass and woodwind instruments as well as musicianship. The Wind Ensemble meets first period each semester, after marching season. 

Students in this ensemble display the highest level of musicianship, capable of performing “Masterwork” literature. This ensemble is intended for upperclassmen, most specifically Junior and Senior members, although outstanding younger students may be placed here as well.

REQUIREMENTS
  • Students in the Wind Ensemble will prepare and present multiple concerts per year, as notated in the Pine Tree Band calendar.
  • Students in the Wind Ensemble will participate in before/after school sectionals, as determined by the Directors
  • Students in the Wind Ensemble will prepare the TMEA Region and All-State Materials
  • Students in the Wind Ensemble will participate in the UIL Concert and Sight-Reading Contest
  • Students in the Wind Ensemble will prepare a solo or small ensemble

EVALUATION
Everyday is an audition – students will be evaluated daily on their individual musical skills and personal contributions to the ensemble. Formal playing assessments will be held regularly via live playing.

AUDITIONS
Students will audition for the concert ensembles in May of the Spring semester. The audition process includes selections from etudes, chromatic scale and twelve major scales. All students who audition and fulfill the minimum competencies will become part of the Pine Tree High School band program. All band students, regardless of concert ensemble assignment, will also participate in the Pine Tree marching band, The Pride.
