West Hall High School Concert Band
The West Hall High School concert band is the beginning to intermediate level developmental ensemble for less experienced young musicians. Students in this ensemble will learn the fundamentals of music theory, fundamentals of rhythms, beginner level syncopation, nine of the twelve major keys, and several other fundamental musical and theoretical elements. Concert Band Students attend one Large Group Performance Evaluation (LGPE) and are graded on several aspects of music. These students are eligible to participate in the school's marching band program, the West Hall High School Band of Silver. The concert band performed at several, but not all, of the concerts that the band put on this year.

The Concert Band consists of two tiers which are organized by class, these tiers come together during concerts often with a percussion accompaniment consisting of students from the percussion ensemble class. The tiers are


 * 1) Lower Tier (Intermediate Band I)
 * 2) Higher Tier (Intermediate Band II)

Students in the two different intermediate band class will learn different fundamentals of music, with Intermediate Band II teaching more advanced concepts than Intermediate Band I. The conductor of the Concert Band is the Director of Bands at West Hall.

West Hall High School Symphonic Band
The West Hall High School Symphonic Band is the advanced wind ensemble at West Hall High School. This band consists of more experienced musicians who have auditioned for their spot in the ensemble. Students in this class will learn advanced musical concepts, all twelve major keys, and some minor keys. The symphonic band also attended one LGPE this past year. They, like the concert band, have performed at some, but not all, of the concerts put on by the band this year. The conductor for the West Hall High School Symphonic band is Mrs. Kathryn "Katy" Wilson-Fields.

West Hall Spartan Jazz Band "Spartan Jazz"
Spartan Jazz is an auxiliary ensemble that consists of students from other ensembles within West Hall Bands. They too have their own LGPE that they attended this last year, and have performed at several concerts this year. They usually perform fairly difficult jazz pieces and are taught the fundamentals of jazz, blues scales, and cool chord stuff. They are led by Director of Bands Katy Wilson-Fields as well.

West Hall Percussion Ensemble
Like Spartan Jazz, the Percussion Ensemble is an auxiliary ensemble. It consists of all of the percussionists in the band program. They learn accompanying parts for pieces that are played across the other three bands. They also have played feature pieces at several concerts for the Band Program. They are led by Lindsey Light, and Katy Wilson-Fields.

== West Hall High School BAND OF SILVER == Summary

The Band of Silver is the Marching Band detachment of the band program. It consists of students from all four bands, and plays at every football game throughout the year. The Band of Silver attends two marching band competitions every year where their show is rated based on performance of music, marching fundamentals, and several other aspects of the marching band. During the upcoming year (2018-19) the band will be performing a show entitled "Blueprint; 2018," which will commemorate the 30th anniversary of the school and its marching band. It consists of pieces such as "We Built This City," and others 80s hits that some students really aren't interested in learning. However, the author of this Wikipedia article is pretty pumped. The Band of Silver is led by a group of staff members and a band leadership team that is changed annually.
