Band of Colorado Springs

The Intermediate Band meets 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays in the sanctuary of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church located at 4720 Galley Road in Colorado Springs under the direction of Kim Kincaid. Intermediate Band members must be able to read music, and easily play the final pages of a Level 1 band method book (e.g., Standard of Excellence, Essential Elements). Interested players are strongly encouraged to visit a music store to peruse the end of Level 1 band method books to see if they are ready for Intermediate Band. 

​

Intermediate Band is perfect for musicians who are not beginners, but are not yet ready for our advanced Concert or Symphonic Bands. Players must have their own instrument and Book 2 of Standard of Excellence by Bruce Pearson. Music stands will be available in the sanctuary. The rehearsals include playing music, learning music theory, reading rhythms, improving skills, and receiving instrument care/maintenance tips. Intermediate Band members will perform in an informal recital for friends and family during the final meeting of each session. The goal of Intermediate Band is to prepare adult musicians to join the more advanced ensembles if they choose to do so. You are welcome to visit one or two rehearsals to determine if this group is for you.  

​

Note: The Intermediate Band, like the other NHBCOS wind ensembles, has three independent sessions per year: fall, spring, and summer. The Intermediate Band is only held if there are at least 12 participants. If fewer than 12 applicants register, the ensemble is cancelled for that session, and refunds are given to all who registered.
