INTERMEDIATE BAND

The Paragould Intermediate Band consists of all 8th graders that are split into two groups; the Red Band and the Blue Band. The groups have 5 major performances each year; Mass Band Night, Christmas Concert, Pre-Assessment Concert, Concert Assessment, and Spring Concert. The Intermediate Bands also play at football games and various pep-rallys and school spirit functions. The Intermediate Bands meet everyday during Jr. High 8th period. During the months of Jan-March the groups meet after school 2 times a week as well as other extra rehearsals with invited guest clinicians. This class is a prerequisite for the High School Band. Students are expected to perform music at the grade II or III level, audition for All-Region Band, and take private lessons on their band instrument. All Intermediate Band students audition for the Sr. High Symphonic & Concert Bands in March each year. They then perform at the Recruitment Concert, Spring Concert, & PHS Graduation.

Students are also encouraged to attend Dixie Band Camp, usually the 3rd or 4th week of June. More info can be found at www.dixiebandcamp.net
