Our Concert Bands
We currently offer three concert bands here at Bartlett. The bands function out of our band classes and have a limited after school schedule. In each class, students study music through the performance of ability appropriate band literature, fundamental exercises on their instruments, and music reading strategies.
Freshmen Band
Made up of the Freshmen Brass Class, Freshmen Woodwind Class, and Freshmen Percussion Class, this group is for all 9th Grade Band students. This group studies music written for young high school bands (Tennessee Bandmasters Association Grade 3) and performs at all BHS concerts.
Concert Band
Composed of 10th-12th Grade students, the Concert Band is an intermediate course of study for band students. This group studies intermediate level band music (Tennessee Bandmasters Association Grades 3-4) and performs at WTSBOA Concert Festival & all BHS Concerts.
Wind Symphony
Our top-performing ensemble at Bartlett High School. This band provides a more difficult course of study for the most advanced student musicians in the band program. Seats in this band are decided by audition. This group primarily studies advanced level music (Tennessee Bandmasters Association Grades 5 & 6) and performs at WTSBOA Concert Festival & all BHS Concerts. This group also aims to perform at the TMEA Convention and BOA National Concert Festival.
