With a far-reaching reputation,
Archbishop Moeller High School has one of the finest band programs in
the area. The Symphonic Band is the heart and soul of
Instrumental Music Education at Moeller, and some aspects of the program
offered here cannot be found anywhere else.
The Symphonic Band, shown at left with the Moeller Men's Chorus,
performs two major concerts each year, programming quality
literature that challenges and motivates the students. The
reputation and excellence of this group has led to national
performances; the last four years have included trips to New York
City and Chicago. The band is currently scouting out possibilities for
the 07-08 season.
All students in the Instrumental Program receive private instruction.
Lessons are offered by professional instructors during the school day,
offering valuable individual music instruction in a way that will not
interfere with a student’s academic responsibilities.
Chamber Ensembles (trios,
quintets, etc.) greatly enhance the
musicianship of our students, who perform for school and public
functions in these teacher-guided,
student-led groups.
 Solo
Performances are also part of the Instrumental Program. Students
develop standard concert repertoire and prepare a group recital for
parents and friends. They also participate in the OMEA contest,
performing their piece for comments by local educators and
professionals.
