The Concert Band participates in the non-rated
Bellevue Concert Band Festival, and the Symphonic Band competes at District Music Contest, where they received a superior rating in 2005. There are honor band and solo and small ensemble competitions available for members of both groups, and the Titan Band has been well represented in both venues the past three years.
