Is student participation in the band and color guard based upon seniority or ability?
Participation in the Los Osos Band and Color Guard Program is always based upon the individual student’s ability on his or her instrument or piece of equipment. Just as the athletic programs have freshman, J.V. and varsity levels, the band program consists of a variety of ensembles. This variety allows students to be placed into ensembles that befit their current level of ability and allow for growth that could potentially help further the students’ skills. With the exception of the 4th period Concert Band (which is open-enrollment for any student) all other ensembles within the program require an audition in order to participate.
