Wichita Symphony Youth Orchestras

The Wichita Youth Concert Band consists of students in middle and high school with at least one year of band experience. The Youth Concert Band focuses on supplementing band experience in our students' musical growth by rehearsing fundamental ensemble skills side by side with peers and prepares talented young musicans to advance into the Youth Wind Ensemble, Repertory Orchestra and Youth Symphony.
