What is a Symphonic/Concert Band?
A Concert or Symphonic Band is a musical ensemble made up of woodwinds, brass and percussion instruments and may include a string bass. Although the roots in the tradition of military bands, a concert band does not march. Generally, a true Concert/Symphonic Band is much bigger than a Wind Ensemble, with several parts doubled, and memberships can range from 60 to 100 members, sometimes even more!
