During the second semester the symphonic band is broken into two performing ensembles - the Concert Band and Symphonic Band. The Concert Band plays band literature at the grade 3 and 4 level, while the Symphonic Band plays literature at the 4 and 5 level. The Symphonic Band has earned “Superior”, “1” ratings for the past eight years. The Concert Band debuted at State Music Festival in the 2005-2006 school year and began with “Superior” “1” ratings as well. Both ensembles work to reinforce the individual performer as well as the overall ensemble.

 The Symphonic Band has performed at the Missouri Music Educators Convention in 2003 , National Adjudicators Invitational in St. Louis and Atlanta, and the Smoky Mountain Music Festival in Gatlinburg, TN. The Symphonic and Concert Bands continues to increase their musicianship by encouraging all students to take private lessons, audition for district band, and take solos or ensembles to festival. In May 2007, the Symphonic and Concert Bands will travel to Chicago to participate in the Dixie Classic Festival.
