Jazz Band
The GMS Jazz Band meets Tuesday mornings before school and is open to students in 7th and 8th grade. Students in jazz band will learn about the culture and style of other musical genres, including swing, funk, Latin, and rock. Jazz Band performances include the Winter Concert, PTO Ice-Cream Social, and the All-District Jazz Concert in late April.
Chamber Ensembles
WSMA Solo & Ensemble Festival
Each spring, students have the opportunity to participate in the WSMA Solo & Ensemble Festival. Students prepare a select solo or duet outside of class to be performed for an adjudicator. The process of working up and performing a solo is a rewarding musical challenge, one that certainly elevates students' musicianship. Next year, GHS hosts this event on Saturday, April 6, 2019.
Summer Band
Summer band is offered during the summer school term.
Please refer to the summer school booklet for details and registration; contact Sam Kovach with questions ([email protected])
