Symphonic Winds

The premiere performing symphonic ensemble at CHS, students in Symphonic Winds perform on an advanced level and should expect extra practices and performances. They consistently perform Grade 6 music, with a strong emphasis on technique, interpretation, and musical understanding.   Designed for "dedicated" music students who enjoy performing, students are required to be in the Mighty Marching Chargers.  After-school rehearsals are required at times during the year.
