Ensembles
All the band classes at Moore Square are a Year-Long elective. Why be in band? There is no substitute or replacement for music-making as it relates to the positive growth and development of the human mind, body, and spirit. Participation in band avails the musician to the infinite journey of creative expression connecting to a language (music) that is understood, communicated, and appreciated by all of mankind around the globe.
