PWHS Symphonic Band

The Parkway West Symphonic Band is one of two wind and percussion ensembles at PWHS.  Comprised of students grades 9-12, the group presents two concerts per semester.  Each year the band performs at the MSHSAA large group festival.

​From August to late October, members of the symphonic band and the percussion techniques course combine to comprise the Parkway West Marching Longhorns.  The wind and percussion students meet in separate sections for 50 minutes each day of the week.
