The Tiger Sound Band Academy at Boynton Beach Community High School is comprised of Concert, Jazz, Marching and  ensembles. They perform at halftime shows during football games, pep rallies, various local parades, campus events and Band Competitions. Band students focus on the development of sight-reading skills, improvisational skills, and performance techniques. Experiences in responding to music and connecting music to cultural influences are also a part of the overall course. The Tiger Sound Band is a well-rounded band and is expected to be able to play a wide variety of music, ranging from serious 'program music' to lighter 'pop-style' music.

BBCHS Band Audition Guidelines

The Boynton Beach Instrumental Music Academy consists of a two-part audition to be admitted into our program.

Part One: Prepared Solo

The first part consists of playing a prepared piece of music that showcases the student’s technical ability at the highest level with which the applicant is comfortable. Students will also be asked to play their major scales at the ranges they can best perform.

Evaluation will be based on:

• Pitch accuracy (discrimination and partials)
• Rhythmic accuracy (timing, tempos, actual written rhythm)
• Tone quality (characteristic for the instrument)
• Technique (breath control, fluency, fingering, entrances, releases, tempos, articulation)
• Expressiveness (dynamics, phrasing, tempo, shaping)
• Musical effect (artistry, stage presence, appearance, emotion)

Part two: Interview

There will be a brief interview to learn more about your experiences before applying and your goals if you are admitted into the program.

Evaluation will be based on:

• Demonstrated motivation through the description of practice habits, lessons, festival participation, awards, eagerness to learn and try new concepts
