Guitar Ensemble

GMS Guitar Ensemble is an extracurricular group comprised of 7th and 8th graders. Guitar ensemble rehearses once a week at a time TBD at the start of each year based on student availability. Members are expected to attend all rehearsals as well as performances. The GMS guitar ensemble performs at least twice a year, including the Winter Small Ensemble Concert and Spring Small Ensemble Concert. Students will work on a variety of guitar ensemble repertoire from different music genres such as rock, baroque/classical, jazz, and folk. This ensemble is open to any interested 7th or 8th grader. Guitar experience is not required to join guitar ensemble but it is recommended.
