Small Ensemble

(Smamble)

This one-of-a-kind course is for the advanced student who is interested in working independently or in small groups on selected music projects. Students may build a combo or small ensemble of any style or instrumentation. They may work on composition or arranging. They may woodshed on a special presentation. They may develop a second or third instrument. The possibilities are limited only by one’s musical imagination. There are numerous ‘Smamble Nights’ throughout the year, where the students show off their creativity and hard work. See the calendar for dates.

Eligibility

Juniors and Seniors who are taking a Concert band class may be eligible for Smamble, with approval of the Directors. Smamble is designed only to be a second or third band class for students, taken concurrently with a concert band. Seniors may be eligible for Smamble without a concert band, provided they are enrolled in a Jazz Ensemble AND have completed Honors Concert Band.
