Sydney North Public Schools Band Program
The Sydney North Public Schools Band Program provides opportunities for talented musicians from public schools in Year 4 to Year 12. The program consists of 3 bands:
- SNPS Concert Band (music level - grade 2 and above)
- SNPS Symphonic Band (music level - grade 3.5 and above)
- SNPS Jazz Ensemble
Membership is considered an extension of student participation in school band programs. It is an expectation of membership that students remain a committed member of any music ensemble programs currently operating at their school whilst they are participating in the program. Students act as representatives of their school in this regional extension program.
