Concert Bands
Throughout the year, band students participate in one of the five concert bands at Haltom High School; the Symphonic Winds, Symphonic Band I, 9th Grade Honors Band, Concert Band A or Concert Band B. These bands prepare several concerts throughout the season, compete at Texas University Interscholastic League (UIL) Concert and Sightreading Contests, and send students to audition for All-Region Band. Several students advance to Area auditions each year, and eventually become part of one of the Texas All-State Bands or Orchestras, which perform during the Texas Music Educator’s Association (TMEA) Conference in February of each year in San Antonio, Texas.
This year, the Haltom Symphonic Winds were amongst one of the best in the state of Texas for their concert repetoire. Performing Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar, Glory of the Yankee Navy by John Phillip Sousa, and Circus Overture by William Schuman
