Spotlight on Symphonic Winds
Symphonic Winds is the School’s most advanced band and provides an enjoyable environment for a variety of instruments to play in. From piccolo and French horn to bassoon, each instrument is a valuable part of the instrumentation of our pieces but also our ensemble as a whole. I’ve had a lot of fun meeting new people and playing in symphonic winds, particularly as we receive repertoire that’s challenging but also incredibly satisfying to see come together with everyone’s efforts. Currently, we’re working on a few pieces featuring female composers, which are all stylistically unique and really interesting, which we’ll play at the International Women’s Day Concert.
