The Norton High School Concert & Symphonic Bands

The concert band program is the center of the Norton Instrumental Music Program.  Students have the opportunity to prepare and perform many different styles of wind band music.  All ensembles present concerts at Norton High School as well as adjudicated performances through the Ohio Music Education Association [OMEA]. 

In November, each student auditions into one of the two performing ensembles.  The Symphony band features the most developed musicians in Norton and prepares works ranging grade 3.5 - 5.  The ensemble addresses the higher level nuances of ensemble playing in their preparations for concerts, adjudicated events, and contests.  The Concert Band features students preparing works grade 2.5 - 4.  Students in this group focus on further developing the fundamentals of instrumental playing and ensemble rehearsal.  The Concert Band also provides an opportunity for students to develop an ability to play a second instrument in the program.

The Norton Symphony and Concert Bands hold onto a rich tradition of earning high ratings at all adjudicated events and contests entered. On average, the bands earn nothing less than an excellent rating and at times succeeding to superior ratings.
