About the Band…
The band program consists of several performing ensembles. The first is the Concert Band in which all ninth grade students who wish to participate must enroll. The second is a percussion ensemble where percussionists will work on band literature as well as a number of percussion fundamentals. The next ensemble is the Symphonic Band which is the main performing wind band. This is the group that represents the school in the spring during FBA MPA Concert Festival. Freshmen may participate in this
performance at the discretion of the director. Additionally, there is our Music Appreciation class which serves as a beginning band as well as an opportunity for current band students to learn a secondary instrument.
Hard-working students, dedicated parents, a supportive administration and community combine to create a dynamic and vibrant band program that is unequaled in Saint Lucie County. Our students are expected to set a standard of excellence that is paramount to the development of upstanding citizens. Members of the FPW Band Program grow musically, mentally, ethically and physically.
