East Hall High School Viking Band
What is High School Band? Students who join the East Hall High School Viking Band program will be placed into one of three concert band classes that meet daily as part of the seven-period academic schedule. Unlike middle school band, each of the three band classes is abilitybased, and therefore, has a mix of 9 th -12 th grade students. Class placement auditions are held in the Spring to determine membership into the Concert Band (intermediate), Symphonic Band (advanced) or Wind Symphony (mastery). All percussionists are placed in the Percussion Ensemble Class.
