Ensemble Descriptions

Symphonic Band
The Symphonic Band is an un-auditioned ensemble open to all high school band students at Hayfield Secondary School. This course focuses on developing skills and musicianship to elevate students into the Wind Ensemble. This class performs in three concerts during the year, and has very few after school commitments.

Wind Ensemble
The Wind Ensemble is an auditioned group open to all high school band students at Hayfield Secondary School. The Wind Ensemble is the top performing band ensemble in the school, and is responsible for Hayfield's status as a VBODA Virginia Honor Band or Blue Ribbon School. Auditions for the Wind Ensemble occur in late April-early May each year. 

Marching Hawks
The Marching Hawks are a co-curricular ensemble that focuses on developing skills in the marching arts and musicianship. This ensemble meets beginning in August, with competitive season lasting until late October to early November.  The ensemble holds a heavy after-school schedule throughout the first two months of school.  Auditions are required for the drumline and student leadership positions.  All other spots are un-auditioned and open to all. Students must be enrolled in a music class at Hayfield Secondary in order to participate in marching, with the exception of the color guard. Color Guard students do not need to be enrolled in a music class.
​
Hayfield Jazz Ensemble
The Hayfield Jazz Ensemble is an extra-curricular ensemble that focuses on developing skills in jazz performance and improvisation. Students in this ensemble will be expected to perform on band concerts and in community events throughout the year. More information TBA!
