Concert Bands are performing ensembles consisting of several members
of the woodwind
instrument family, brass instrument family and percussion
instrument family. The various
repertoire includes original wind compositions, arranged classical
items, light music, and popular
tunes. Though the instrumentation is similar, it is distinguished
from the marching band in that
its primary function is as a concert ensemble. The repertoire for
a concert band may, however,
contain marches.
Instrumentation in a concert band is not standardized and may have several players on each part, depending on available personnel and the preference of the conductor.
